Bliss English Club

Hi Blissers,

Please note we don't have any meeting this Saturday due to National Day.

Last Saturday,Ellen asked us two interesting scenario-typed questions in the beginning of the meeting,which helped us have a better understanding of  "Game Theory".Then we read an article extracted from "The Economist",which was a challenge to us and you can find how challenging it was from the below vocabulary!
