Bliss English Club

Hi Blissers,
Last Saturday, Joey took us to review each participant's last major(s) in school and it's relationship with our current jobs.
About 1/2 participants' current job has something to do with their major in school and if start over, about 1/3 participants will change their major.
We have a new member - Jenny joined us and her picture link is Here.
The other participants are Selina, Reyes, Allen, Ellen, Mengta, Kevin Huang, Barkley, Tom, Joe, Natalie, Sanli and Daniel.
The meeting picture link is Here.

This coming Saturday, Annie will take us to "History of British Language".
Look forward to meeting you.
Here is her outline and agenda.

 =========================================

Dear blissers,
This coming Saturday afternoon, I have the honor to be a hostess to present the topic of “The History of English Language”.

Within three-hour presentation, I hope I can give you a portrayal of how English language today have evolved.  You are going to know Old English, Middle English, Modern English, American English, different eras like Elizabethan era, Victorian era, important literay figures shaping the eras like Shakespear, and some interesting facts like the wives of Henry VIII.

Am I too ambitious?Yes. Have I missed anything out?Of course I have, in the search for brevity. My ultimate aim is to have fun knowing England and its culture before Olympic Games.

Welcome to the window of England!

Sincerely yours,
Annie
