Question

【題目】 What does it take to graduate from university? A couple of classes, some papers or high scores? Well, all these are not enough if you’re a student at Tsinghua University.

According to a new rule of the university, students must prove themselves in the pool. They need to complete a swimming test of at least 50 metres, and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years. By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can’t graduate with their bachelor’ s degrees (學(xué)士學(xué)位).

This news made waves in Chinese social media. Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives, and they also believed that the move would help improve students’ overall physical fitness. However, others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities to be able to swim.

In fact. this is not a new rule. Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in 1919. It was later dropped because the number of students became too many and there weren’t enough swimming pools on the campus for them to learn swimming.

Anyway, it’s still good news that Chinese students’ health and fitness have become more and more valued. Why not just take this chance to equip (裝備) yourself with one more life-saving ability?
