Wing Kuang: Battling a Machine for Her Dreams

That's the reason why I failed the test: because I don't speak like a machine, because I speak with emotions, like a human.

In this episode of 'Days Like These', Wing shares her journey from arriving in Australia at 17 to her struggle with an English language test that could make or break her journalism career.
Imagine pouring your heart into every word, only to be judged by a machine that doesn’t understand the nuances of human emotion. Wing's experience is both frustrating and enlightening, shedding light on the challenges of adapting to a new culture while trying to meet stringent immigration requirements. This episode isn't just about a test; it's about resilience, determination, and the fight for one's dreams in the face of impersonal systems.
Perfect for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood or faced an uphill battle, Wing's story will resonate deeply. Tune in to hear her candid reflections and gain insights into the complexities of the Australian immigration system and its language proficiency demands.
