They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, 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 cant graduate with their bachelors degrees(学士学位).The news made waves in Chinese social media (媒体). Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives, and they also believed that the rule would help improve students health. However, others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities (内陆城市) to be able to swim.In fact, this is not a new rule. Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in 1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming.Anyway, it is still good news that Chinese students health has become more and more valued.

"I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs," she says, "I know what they mean，but they are Chinglish，not real English. For example, when someone says to me "My hometown is Guizhou Province", I know he or she should say "My hometown is in Guizhou Province". Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include "Not Entry", which should be "No Entry", "Direction of Airport" should be changed to "To the Airport". And it is "Room Rate", not "Room Price". And remember to "Keep off the Grass" rather than "Care of the Green".The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.15.
