Every time I organize the monthly buddy program, I'd assign Eng. major students to reflect their experiences of the day. How do they feel toward the program and how it develops their Eng. skills and soft skills. Proudly, most of them gave a positive feedback and some have become a frequent participants.
Here's the reflection of 3 students that coincidentally, their nicknames started with 'P', Pang, Ping & Ploy and they are from the same major and year.

Happy weekends with international friends: Monthly Buddy
Program reflection
( Sun. 5 Jan. 2020)
If you have opportunity, I recommend you to participate in this
buddy program organized by the English Club. This is buddy program with 5
international friends from Korea, Italy and Indonesia. I joined buddy program last Sunday.
There were many activities. In the morning, I played games with Thai friends
and international friends. These games were so interesting and made us know each
other very well.
In the afternoon, I went to do the missions at the Songkhla
old town. The missions are about finding the pictures that the group was
assigned. After I joined this activity, I know more about cultures of Korean
people because my buddy is a Korean lady. We shared a lot of experiences with
each other. This is a good memory for me to spend time with friends on weekends.

I joined the buddy program on the 5th January 2020. I met
new friends both Thai and Korean, including 2 Indonesian friends. The Korean
girl's name is Yewon. We went to Songkhla street art for doing missions by
taking photos with the beautiful street arts. We also went to eat ice cream and
deep-fried meatballs. Yewon said that the food was so delicious. It was a great
experience. She told thank our team for taking her to that place. It was her
best day in Thailand, said she. ^^ It was also my memorable experience. I feel
glad that she liked it.

Yesterday was the first time that I joined the buddy
program. I met 2 lovely Korean and 1 Italian friends including 2 Indonesian
friends. I also met new Thai friends from different faculties. There are games
for icebreaking and some missions that I really enjoyed. I think some games
make us be more focused. After we finished the mission in the Songkhla Old
Town, my group walked to see other street arts and then drank some juice in a
café with a beautiful lake view.
