dialogue: Lila: You are married to a foreigner, huh? So what's it like?
  Marie-Jeanne: Well, the first year of our marriage, we had great difficulty getting along. The things that are important to me are not important to him. We had a lot of conflicts.
  Lila: Yeah, I know what you mean. The first year of any marriage is difficult for all couples, not to mention two people from different cultures.
  Marie-Jeanne: And now we have a two-year-old boy. We're very happy that he's healthy and smart.
  Lila: Oh, so he's half Chinese and half American. That's unusual. What languages does he speak, then?
  Marie-Jeanne: Right now he speaks mostly Chinese, and he can say a few English words. But he will learn.
  Lila: What does he look like? Can people tell?
  Marie-Jeanne: Yes, people surely can. He's whiter than the Chinese kids, and his hair is a little blonde. My husband says his eyes are very Chinese though.
