Meng Zang is a 23 year old student from China. She came to New Zealand attracted by its reputation for good education and lifestyle. She has a Degree in Management Science form China and her ambition is to get into Auckland University to do a Masters in Business Studies. For that she needs to push her IELTS score up from a 5.5. to a 6.5. Meng is very determined and has a strong work ethic and was looking for a course that would challenge her. After three months with New Zealand School of Business and Technology she says:
"I find the school to be well-equipped and it has a great learning/study atmosphere. Our Principal is professional and kind and my teacher, Maria, always tries to understand our individual problems and to give us personal help. In short, I am really happy to be studying in this school and my level of English has improved a lot."
Meng hopes eventually to return to Beijing and is confident that her New Zealand qualifications will help her get a good management-level job. She misses China but she knows that she will also miss New Zealand when she returns home. She will never forget the spectacular scenery and the friends she has made.
