STUDENTS’ VIEWS
One of my friends told me about DOMINO English learning centre. At that time I
had completed my graduation and looking for a good job. However, it was a difficult
task for me because it’s a modern age English is prevailing everywhere in the society.
I was poor in English language. When she told me about DOMINO that it fulfils all
the requirements like it emphasizes on all the aspects speaking good English i.e.
Grammar, pronunciation, accent, listening, writing and reading. Within three months
DOMINO makes their students capable to speak English fluently. I am proud to say
that I am a student of DOMINO that actually makes me feel confident and eligible
to get better job. May ALLAH Bless DOMINO.
Joining DOMINO English learning Centre could be described as the best experience
of my life. From a shaky individual, unable to face audience, to a confident speaker;
DOMINO was solely responsible for the transition. It was a difficult task to learn
English as my professional life allowed me less time to learn , but the devotion &
efforts of DOMINO staff & the administration really helped and facilitated me in the
most conducive way. Hats off-10 DOMINO for making me stand out in the crowd.
English is an international language. So it’s essential to learn it. I am from rural area
where students do not have ample ways to move forward for their careers. My mother
tongue is different from urdu which is used as lingua franca in all over Pakistan. But to
come closer to my dreams I have to learn English. DOMINO is the platform where I can
meet all the challenges of my life. I am a student of 3rd month regular and now I am
confident enough to speak good English. It is just because of the healthy environment
and qualified & Co-operative teachers who are always there for the benefits of the students.
