COCA Exercise
When the professor asked us to search three words with COCA, I didn't know want words I wanted to search for. So a stupid idea just came up my mind--"Why not start with my English name?" and then I typed "Cathy."
Example 1:
Cathy (n.)
Frequency: 3150
Meaning: A female first name.
Example:
My example: Hi, my name is Cathy, you can just call me Cat.
So I checked many of the examples on COCA, and I realize that "Cathy" almost has no other meanings but a name. Unlike my friends' names, there are Bonnie, a little rabbit; Lily, a kind of flower, and so on.
Example 2:
Stranger (n.)
Frequency: 10248
Meaning: someone who you don't know.
Example:
Frequency: 8916
Meaning: describe someone or something is very graceful and beautiful.
Example:

My example: Lady Mary was so elegant that all the gentlemen at the ball couldn't help but keep looking at her.

My CALL Experiences
When I was a senior high school student, I used to use "VoiceTube" to improve my English listening comprehension. I also used TedTalk to listen to others cool ideas sometimes.
After I going to the college, I fell in love with American and English series. I watch them in my free time. I learn some slang by watching them. At the same time, I practice my English listening comprehension by not looking the subtitles, and it works. I found that by this way, I can learn not only English but also different cultures in the English-speaking countries in the world.

Self-introduction
My name is Cathy.
I'll be 21 years old this June.
I was born in Kaohsiung, and lived in there until I was 12. Then I moved to Tainan.
I have two sisters, one is older than me, while the other is younger than me.
In my first and second year in Soochow University, I join the club "Musical Performance Club."
We sing, dance and act with the members. Last year, I got the chance to play on the stage.
I really enjoyed the stage. I love the club members very much. They are like my family.
I believe that I can do everything I want to do if I have their support.
