One festival, two cultures: does one nation have the right to call its own? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to the UNESCO to make the celebration its cultural heritage .If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation. As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation."It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China," said Zhou Heping, deputy culture minister.The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event. Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world.In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of local culture. With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue about which country the festival belongs to."No one can deny that it came from China," said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province."But if all the countries involved can protect culture heritage together, they will all benefit."

If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, " I'm afraid it'll have to be somewhere cheap, as I have little money." The other person may say, "OK, I'll meet you at McDonald' s." This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, "Oh, no, I want to take you to lunch at Smith's." or " I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They are great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards the person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say, " Thank you. That would be very nice."
