Many years ago, some scholars were strongly against the certification of English test that was a must for a student to get the degree. So some colleges canceled the rules. But recently, The Chinese first class university announced that swimming skill is necessary for degree. It has been the hot issue, then many people give their opinions.许多年前，一些学者强烈反对英语证书的考取是学生获得学位的必须条件。所以一些学校取消了这个规定。但最近，中国一流大学宣布，游泳技能是获得学位的必要条件。这引起了人们的热烈讨论，很多人给出了他们的观点。
On the one hand, some people are favorable of this regulation, because swimming skill is really important. Most of the accidents happened in the river. The swimming skill can protect them from dying. What’s more, foreign schools take the swimming class as the regular lesson. So almost every foreign kid can swim, which is the basic skill.一方面，有些人赞同这些规定，因为游泳技能是非常重要的。大多数事故都发生在河里。游泳技能可以保护他们免受死亡的伤害。更重要的是，国外学校把游泳课设定为常规的课程。所以几乎每一个外国小孩都会游泳，这是基本技能。
On the other hand, some people argue that even the student can’t swim, they can’t be denied by lacking the swimming skill. They need the degree to find a job. They are equipped with many skills and are capable of a lot of things. Their ability has nothing to do with swimming skill. 另一方面，有些人认为，即使学生不会游泳，也不可能因为缺乏游泳技能而受到否定。他们需要学位去找工作。他们具备很多别的技能，会做的事情很多。他们的能力与游泳技能无关。
I think that school should open the class for students to learn swimming skill. If they fail, they still can make up by learning other lesson. The degree can be got by many ways. 我认为学校应该开设游泳这门课程。如果学生学不会游泳，他们仍然可以通过学习其他课程来弥补。学位的授予可以通过很多方式。
