“I started learning English after realising its importance especially in IT (information technology) – the dominant medium of communication of the internet,” said Ming Qian, who received his C2 Proficiency Certificate.

“Learning English has allowed me to use the internet with little to no challenge. It has also allowed me to converse with people confidently, regardless of their country of origin,” he added.

In her speech, guest-of-honour Mdm Lee Yam Sei, former director of Tenby Schools Ipoh, said that with wisdom, diligence and commitment in wanting to learn the English language, one would be able to master the most commonly spoken language in the world.

“Practice makes perfect. Language learning is a lifelong process and language is a living thing, which constantly changes and evolves.

“You have made the right start by enrolling in English courses at ILTI, which takes you from the basics to advanced levels in English, and with constant practice in all these skills you have learned at ILTI, very soon you will find yourself improving in the language,” she said.
