#Person1#: You are married to a foreigner, huh? So what's it like?
#Person2#: 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.
#Person1#: 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.
#Person2#: And now we have a two-year-old boy. We're very happy that he's healthy and smart.
#Person1#: Oh, so he's half Chinese and half American. That's unusual. What languages does he speak, then?
#Person2#: Right now he speaks mostly Chinese, and he can say a few English words. But he will learn.
#Person1#: What does he look like? Can people tell?
#Person2#: 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.
