Community Interview
To begin my work let me introduce the interviewee. He is Mr. Kapera Para. A Ugandan by nationality living in Kakuma refugee camp. He is a gentle man of 31 years old. Kapera do not know English well and I do not know Kiswahili well so we invited a translator from Karamojong a tribe in Uganda who is good in both English and Kiswahili. Having a translator in an interview takes much time because he or she has to listen from both the interviewer and interviewee and translates. It was harder with me especially when it comes to connecting ideas. Translation always affects the original meaning of the text and hence some words …show more content…

An interviewer has to employ extra effort in order to be able to understand the language before it is jotted down to the compilation files. I was not wise enough in translation but at least I got closure to the data.
The most difficult part of languages is the meaning behind each. Some of the languages has different ascents and slangs, needs only an experienced translator to translate it. One of the common things I know of translation is to always be in position to provide a refreshment, this will prevent the interviewee from getting tired and sleepy and hence the proper contacts can be retained.
My communication is always different depending on the gender in which I address at a particular time. The camp in which I live in has got three types of genders, the male, female and haemoprodite. When I talk to female I use the soft and low tone because female gender are always prone to quarrel and judgmental. This policy has earned me a remarkable relationship and understanding of female gender. Male gender is neutral and so are friendly to all environment. Haemoprodite are not many In my society and am still to meet any. Am now planning of the proper conduct to use whenever I meet any. I also use to meet guy who claim to be female. Strong male with bear claiming seriously to be female, this is actually strange

    Community service has become a requirement for an eighteen year old student to get admitted in an university or to pursue a paying job. Although I am involved in many community service, I personally believe that it should not be a requirement. A student should desire to work voluntarily. He or she should not be forced to perform the community service to make their college application look better. There are several learners who are against volunteering. The high school students have various things to see and learn. They should be able to help others by their own choice. They should not perform it just to graduate. Pressurizing can lead to have short-tempered apprentices which is not good.

    In fact, Arabic translator may face difficulties in translating the Holy Quran to the English language. The main problem that faces Muslim translators in translation Holy Quran is no equivalent of Islamic terms that lead them to use Communicative translation, For example, Zakah which means (alms giving - زكاة) and Taqwa (piety - تقوى) So the way of translating these terms into English language only gives the close meaning (Ali et al, 2012, p. 588). Additionally, translation of holy texts is difficult because sometimes the translators interpret superficially and biased of choosing the right equivalents (Khosravi, Pourmohammadi, 2016, p. 152).

It could be difficult task to translate Islamic expression since it may have non- equivalent words in the English

    How does language affect our interaction with other genders? Language is the basis of all interaction. The language we use is essential to other’s perceptions of us. We instinctively know this, so we cater our language to suit how we want to be perceived by others. Language is not the only factor in perception though. Other’s interpretation of our language is as important an ingredient in their perception of us as the language we use is. Our perceptions of each other, more than anything else dictate our interactions with each other. The essential question is does interpretation of language vary between genders?
