This is a piece about the renovation of International House in the International District. I have done some investigations in the apartment and looked into the construction progress. The residents of International House are mainly old people and non-English speakers. Most are Chinese. I was glad that I was able to communicate with them and interviewed them. What I have learned the most is how to translate the quotes from Chinese into English. It was challenging to interpret the meanings from other language and have the same expression. I have learned some translation skills, which can prepare myself for other similar situations in the future.
