I'm not sure that I can't graduate after passing CET-4, but I quite agree with the rule that I can't graduate without swimming (although I'm not good at swimming yet).
CET-4 is the basic threshold set by the state to improve college students' English level. Generally speaking, passing CET-4 and CET-6 is a recognition of our English ability.
However, the ultimate goal of learning English is not to take exams, but to use English. Many students who have passed CET-4 and CET-6 still can't use it.
Swimming is not like this. As a sport, being able to swim means being able to use it, which has more advantages than disadvantages for students.
First, keep fit and improve physical fitness.
In recent years, college students' physical fitness has declined very seriously, and sudden death occurs from time to time when running 800 meters and 1000 meters. Only once a year, college students' physical fitness test will not play any role. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the physical quality of college students. Swimming, as a popular aerobic exercise, has more advantages than running in cardiopulmonary exercise and knee protection, and does less harm to the body.
The director of the Sports Department of Tsinghua University said: "Because swimming is an indispensable survival skill", it increases the hope of life in the face of danger.
Second, reduce negative emotions.
When we have negative emotions, negative emotions will greatly stimulate the internal organs and produce an energy. If this kind of energy cannot be vented in time, it will not only hurt the body, but also make more intense actions. Many college students can only solve their problems by committing suicide because of excessive study pressure or emotional difficulties. They can't find suitable channels to vent their emotions, so they can only express their anger and dissatisfaction in extreme ways. Swimming can make people active. In the face of many negative emotions, you might as well go to the swimming pool to swim 65438+100000 meters first. Will you still have the strength to go to extremes?
Third, there are precedents for the inheritance of history.
Liu Bo, director of the Sports Department of Tsinghua University, said that as early as 90 years ago, Tsinghua University proposed that he could not swim, graduate or study abroad.
Due to factors such as the expansion of student scale and limited space, it was closed. And many universities have long had such regulations, such as Shanghai University, Xiamen University, Hainan University, Sun Yat-sen University, xidian university and South China University of Technology. Some physical education institutions have implemented such regulations, such as Shanghai Institute of Physical Education.
Fourth, the school attaches importance to student education.
Tsinghua University not only made such a regulation, but also proposed to cultivate the habit of Tsinghua University's exercise from the freshman year, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the country and the people. Moreover, swimming is a sport that is seriously affected by the facilities of the venues. The school rules are because Tsinghua has favorable venue resources, and many college students may not see the appearance of a regular swimming pool.
In addition, in order to encourage students to participate in sports, many venues and venues are mostly open to students after school hours, rather than being rented out to surrounding residents, thus ensuring the interests of students to the greatest extent. On weekends and after school hours, many schools rent out their stadiums to make profits at the expense of students' exercise time. We should still learn from Tsinghua. After all, teaching and educating people is the most important duty of the school.
In a word, Tsinghua University's action is very worthy of recognition. Not only has it contributed to the students of its own school, but it has also attracted the attention of people from all walks of life to swimming by using its social influence, and it has been praised by the Sports Department of Tsinghua University!
