Hello ladies and gentlemen,<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Al<\/a>, and through this blog piece, I want to give you some information and share my wonderful experiences regarding the Pre-MDM program<\/a>. What? Wait a second! How did you just pronounce my name? AI, like Artificial Intelligence? Well, it\u2019s A+L; Al. Nice to meet you too! \ud83d\ude0a <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know my name and, at the drop of a hat, we have kind of become best friends, I let you go on my ticket and enjoy this reading journey. Such a social guy I am!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To let you know more about myself, as a former pre-MDM student, I am currently studying the MDM program (C15) and working as the pre-MDM IA. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Oh boy, again, these two letters! Well, the good thing is that you pronounced it correctly this time! There are several things that I really like about being an instructional assistant. Firstly, I have the honor to stay connected with one of the best teachers I have ever seen; Dr. Aida Elisabeta Osian<\/a>. Secondly, I have found amazing new friends who will be the next year MDM program superstars. Finally, I learn a lot and gain many new experiences; If you think it is easy, give it a try! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person who has both Pre-MDM and MDM program experiences, you may like to know my feeling about the Pre-MDM program. If you ask me to briefly describe the pre-MDM program, I would say it\u2019s all about experiencing new things with the people who are really close to each other, like family members, and have the same goals. Having acceptable, hands-on teachers like Aida and Jason makes your wonderful Pre-MDM journey experience unforgettable. What you learn during the pre-MDM program is by far beyond your expectations. Saying the same goals reminded me of the golden goal that we all wanted to achieve and were studying extremely hard to pass the IELTS by getting an overall of 7.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay back! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I talk about the past and got excited. Want to trigger a flashback! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, I think we both did well in terms of safety. I feel good and hope you are sound as well. Hadn\u2019t had the superpower of time travelling, I wouldn\u2019t have believed it. What did you ask? What time are we in? We are in the time when I was studying as a pre-MDM student from 2019 to 2020. What did you say? No COVID? Yea, you are right, and that is why we had many field trips. We really had our time together and learnt a lot of new things. Not only did we firmly established our friendship, but we also enhanced our English language skills along with increasing our general knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry; the vaccine is out there, and pre-MDM students will experience those sweet days again.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh God, why are most of the students shaking here? Damn! You know what? We travelled in time so deeply! Today is the first day of the Pre-MDM program. Seemingly, we have our first presentation, but believe me, everyone would feel extremely confident after finishing the program and will become a true presenter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, there would be good opportunities for everyone to perfectly learn technical writing and make themselves more skillful. It would help a lot when pre-MDM students want to break into the market, and so far, all the pre-MDM students have done it, which can be counted as proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to travel back, and I let you know what has become better in 2021. Ready? I am totally sure you know what you have to do now! Right? Think about safety!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alright, feel super energetic and happy! Should I time travel everyday? I guess I decide it later! Ok, let\u2019s back to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to 2021! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let me give you a good piece of news to make your day! If you are interested in the pre-MDM program and want to apply for it, there is no IELTS required for the pre-MDM graduated students once they want to enter the MDM program! OMG! What? Yea, I am not joking! Wait, where are you going? Come back, I haven’t done yet. Do you run like this each time you get excited? So weird! Not spending time on IELTS during the Pre-MDM program means that they are now able to only focus on what they really need for sharpening their skills. For example, switching from IELTS language training to ESP only and also focusing on their technical English and soft skills. #TheLuckyDuck<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you liked this post and, of course, my superpower, I have another good news for you. Surprise! What a good boy I am! Each Pre-MDM student has their own superpower; well, mine was time travelling. You never know what they are able to do unless you read the next blog posts. Have fun and enjoy the journey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
