There are moments that pass by very quickly, but there are also moments that make people want to slow down a little to look at and keep them. May at UEH English Zone was such a period of time – when conversations, board game matches, and familiar meet-ups gradually became beautiful memories closing an emotional academic year. Let’s flip through the diary pages and travel through a memorable May at UEH English Zone together!
A peaceful corner before exam season
Opening in May, “Your Treasure” brought a cozy space where participants shared their own treasures – maybe a special person, a beautiful memory, or simply small things that make life more meaningful. The gentle yet sincere atmosphere turned the talk into a place where everyone could listen to and understand each other more.

Continuing those emotions, “Between the Scenes” brought participants back to movies and TV shows connected to childhood memories. From Cartoon Network and Disney Channel to familiar sitcoms repeatedly watched after school, the talk not only recalled familiar memories but also opened new perspectives when looking back at the characters and stories with present-day thoughts.

Especially, May was also marked by “Little Us” – a collaborative activity with ECOFF from the Youth Union – Association of the School of Foreign Languages. Without needing overly grand topics, the conversation chose to begin with memorable childhood memories, gradually creating sincere connections between participants. That simplicity itself made the gathering more memorable than ever.

When movies become mirrors reflecting emotions
During May, EZ Silverscreens sessions continued bringing familiar yet thought-provoking perspectives through each film. At Silverscreens: Best Friend, participants discussed friendship, companionship, and how every relationship affects each person’s growth journey. Afterwards, “Tulip” brought a gentler and deeper color. Through each scene, participants were guided into personal emotions about healing, hope, and beautiful things that still exist amid busy life. The movie created an exciting atmosphere, leaving many emotions in participants’ hearts.

Intense battles and laughter closing a memorable chapter
If EZ Talks and Silverscreens brought emotional quiet moments, the EZ Boardgames series in May continued heating up the atmosphere with exciting mind games.
Coming to “Cover Your Assets”, players constantly experienced humorous yet tense moments of fighting over assets. The laughter, negotiations, and unexpected plot twists made the game session more lively than ever.

Next, “Coup” and “Avalon” brought participants into mind games where truth and lies continuously intertwined. The suspense was clear in every turn, when each decision could change the situation of the whole game. The deductions, debates, and attempts to read each other created an atmosphere both tense and full of laughter, so everyone left with many more memorable memories with friends.

A journey ends, but the memories remain
Besides regular activities, May also had the companionship of “CAMPUS ODYSSEY – SPEAKING EXTENDED GROUP” – a collaborative program between the English club BELL and UEH English Zone. Not only revolving around studying or deadlines, the conversation opened a more interesting perspective on university life – where every experience, every person, and every time stepping out of the comfort zone can become a memorable part of youth. Through close and relatable sharing about the university journey, participants not only had the opportunity to connect through English but were also inspired to discover newer versions of themselves.

The end of May also meant the first semester of 2026 was gradually passing by. Familiar conversations, board game sessions, or moments of speaking English together that once seemed ordinary now became the things people remember most when looking back. UEH English Zone is not only a place to improve English ability but also a place to preserve connections, emotions, and student-life memories of each participant.
