Dear Blissers,
 
After a long Chinese New Year Holidays, the brand new meetings in Golden Pig Year will start from this week. All of you can not wait for it, right ?!
This week, our ChairWoman, Vicky Lin, will host a wonderful topic "Brand Building Framework". Let us check carefully we will find various brands are around us so closely. Some brands come quickly and go swiftly. And some can be kept in our mind for a long time. Do you know why and how ? Let Vicky tell you. Please do not forget to join us this week.
 
There are a lot of successful famous brands in the world and we just love them- Apple, Nike, Coke, Sony, Giant, Lexus, LV, BMW, Chanel, Mont Blanc, !
During the meeting, we will discuss mass famous brands and also the following questions:
 
How can these brands be so popular and successful?
Are there any rules to build a brand?
What makes a brand fail? Any reason?
How to start with my brand?
How does the market look like? Any chance for my brand?
Where are my customers/consumers? How to reach them?
What do my customers/consumers like or dislike?
….. and more!
 
You may refer to the book for some brands we will discuss- “Rising Tide(English version)” or “P&G品牌行銷密碼(Chinese version)”.

Dear Blissers,
 
We all appreciate for Joey's best performance to bring us Scrabble game last week. The atmosphere of the whole meeting is "hot". Even it was so cold outside, most of us took off our jackets and sweaters during the game. Of course, no matter win or lose, we learned lots new English words through this wonderful game.
 
This week, there are 2 parts in our meeting. For the first part, teacher Vivian will share her abundant and excellent English teaching experience with us. You may change your original ideas for English after joining her meeting.
 
For 2nd part, another teacher, Stephanie, will tell us why Australia becomes the most popular country for the tourists from all over the world. No matter you have been there or not, please come to join and share your experience with us.
 
I ‘m going to introduce Australia this Saturday afternoon . Have you been to Australia before ? Do you understand about this country ? Australia is a wonderful travel country ,it’s a natural unusual landscape, a lot of wild animals like koala , kangaroo. Also a fashionable city. The ancient aborigine culture and different country foods . It also product grape and many other fruits in Australia .
   Please come to here for enjoying this Saturday afternoon . I ‘ll you tell about Australia . Before meeting please prepare 2 questions : 1. How many countries have you gone?  2. In which country do you want to visit again , why ?

Dear Blissers,

First of all, all our crew appreciate a lot for your attendance the meeting last week. We hope the 1st 讀書會 has brought you something new and meaningful. Besides, hope all of you have more understanding and conception about the Mid-East countries political and religional status by Owen's introduction. 
Besides, we are also impressed and surprised by the new meeting place 禪之藝.It is really a bright and broad place to hold a meeting. BUT IT IS A PITY THAT WE CAN NOT HOLD THE MEETING THERE TIS WEEK SINCE IT HAS RESERVED BY SOMEONE.  We will go back to 北義極品 this week only(Jan-27). As far as I'm concerned, the 1st floor of 北義極品 is also an excellent place for our meeting.

Moreover, our previous blog link, bliss.english.tw, does not work anymore. The new link, http://www.wretch.cc/blog/ilovebliss , will bring you to our Bliss amazing Blog world. Please leave your any message to all blissers there.

This week, our senior, experienced, and respected member, Joey Chen, will share a very wonderful game with us. We can not only get lots fun, but also learn a bunch English words from it. You may ask what kind of game with such magic power, Please do not hesitate to join his meeting. I am sure you will love it.

Scrabble is a word game that anybody can play as long as they can spell in the language in which the game is being played. The game is intended to be played by between two and four players. If more than four people are available, they can either team up. We will experience both Individual and Group competition in the meeting.

To begin with, each player draws seven tiles from the bag. The first player makes a word from any or all of their letters and places it on the board, beginning, ending or crossing the central square and replaces the used tiles with a corresponding number of tiles from the bag. Subsequently, players take turns to create a new word (thereby building a crossword on the board), attempting to score as many points as possible.

If you have never ever played Scrabble, this is a meeting you will not miss for sure. If you have practiced Scrabble, this is even a great chance to evaluate yourself.

He let us understand soooo many storis about the "A country" and the relationship/conflicts between those countries.Also, Sveta just led us reading through the article in Time-"person of this year"....this really bring us into the next level of English.

Dear All Blissers, after Clark's meeting, I believe all of us can be good at communicating with others. The crews are wondering and happy because there are 20 blissers joining Clark's meeting including 5 new members.
This week, we will have a good meeting place, 禪之翼. It is a very good place for us. We can have our own space to enjoy our meeting without disturbance. The meeting quality can be much better.
We will have our 1st 讀書會 this week. All the crews want to share the fresh and hottest thing, Web 2.0, with all blissers. We are ready to give it a try and hope all of you can come to join.
You can find the meeting data/material in the attached files. Please read and copy it before joining the meeting. That will make you getting more ideas and conception from our meeting.

Good communication is one of the keys to a successful career no matter what field you choose, and many different skills contribute to a professional's capacity to communicate well.  Improving communication is a continuous process of learning, doing, critiquing, evaluating, and doing again.

Management Communication is intended to help you think strategically about communication and aid you in improving your writing, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills within a managerial setting. We will look at a set of "best practices" or guidelines that have been derived from both research and experience, give you the opportunity to put those guidelines into practice, and provide you with feedback on your work to help you strengthen your abilities.

Join us this Saturday afternoon and you will learn different aspects of communication within a managerial setting!!

See you then !!!
