Disappointment Half years ago, I went to UK to learn English(one of my excuses to convince my parents), but the real reason is that it's my dream to study abroad and make friends from different cultures. Anyway,I'm back in Taiwan now but still miss the atmosphere there. As a result, I apply for ''international buddy'' of my university.(Students to help the exchange students adapt Taiwan's lifestyle.) Yesterday I asked the school about my buddy and they told me due to some reasons I don't have the buddy this semester. I was thinking'' Am I not good enough? '' But they didn't tell me the reason why I was not chosen. Kinda disappointed because of this. But I think there's always another way.

That's super cool that you were able to go to the UK to study! Maybe you'll be able to be an international buddy next year? I think if they didn't have a reason then they probably just ran out of people who need an international buddy. At least that's my optimistic view! Maybe you can find people here?

Great paragraph!  Sorry to hear you didn't get to host an international buddy. :(  You are right, there's always another way!  Below is another way you could write this:
