Alhouth every thing has two sides, yet there shuold be a balance between them.On one hand, it is must for 21 century student to have a good master of English, which is also of great help to them in their future career. But on the hand, there is no necessarity for every one to pass the G4. Above all, every one is different and has his or her own talent. And we each have the same time in the four years, so if we spent too much time in learning Englsih we will have less time for our majors. What really matters to most college students is the knowledge and ability to work in the future, so it is a waste of time and money and energy, whcih in turn also hurts our country's development.

There are two sides in coin.
In my opinion, the student must pass  CET-4, then can get the degree. Now everything can't run without english. such as, IT, international trade, and so on. and if you want to get a good job, you have to have well english.  Yes, certification is very important, besides CEN-4 certification, the IT certification is also very important. People speak english that is not the fresh thing.  If you want to pass CET-4, you must work hard.  Even if the students can buy answer for exam, they should know how to fill in the answer.

The best that you can pass CET-4 and speak english well....
Regarding me, I didn't pass CET, actually I have no chance for CET-4. I just had three years college. I didn't need to get CET-4 certification. However , I don't get any certification about english.  So I feel my english poor.

i'm a freshman.i want to express my point.iold saying goes:a coin have tow sides.if college degree si not connect with cet-4,we can't have passion to work for english.but learnning english is a intresenting no more than a burdan.it's my fool view! thinks!

I  think  nowhere  else  in  the  world  have  the  certificates  and  degrees  been  so  important   as  in  China,  which  directly  lead  to  the  wide  attention  to  the  exams  of  all  sorts. It  seems  that  years  of  hard  work  is  just for  several  papers  to  certify  our  ability  and  knowledge.
    From  my  point  of  view,  it's  unreasonable .Perhaps,  many  regard  it  as  a  good  regulation  because  it  triggers
a  great  interest  of  English  for  teens  and  inspires  us  to  learn  English  harder  than  ever.  But  how  many  people  really  attain  the  ability  of  using  English  as  a  communication  skill  after  passing  through  CET? I'm  afaid  the  majority  have  laid  it  aside  and  turn  to  something  else  once  the  certificates  are  in  their  hands.
    What's  more,  as  we  all  know,  not  every  major  we  take  up  has  a   tight  connection  with  English.  Thus,  why
must  the  certificate  be  associated  with   a  degree? Despite  the  broken  English,  a  guy  can  excel  at  his  major,
also  being  active  in  all  kinds  of  compaigns. When  it  comes  to  this  ponit,  it  becomes  unfair  to  juge  a  person
by  his  certificate  of  CET.
    In  a  word,  I  hope  students  especially   college  students  don't  be  tormented  any  more  by  grades.

i think it have two side ,but for the needs of the society we must have them ,wo have no choice,for our life and work

Firstly,I agree the point that we should learn English well.It is good for our future.From here we can say the college professor was right on one side.
   
     But, on the other side,college doesn't offer the certificate of degree is not fair to students. Students can not pass the CET may have many reasons. It can not just show their power on it. So, what they done was a wrong decision.

     As a student ,to learn something well is deserve. And sometimes, to be yourself is also important, do not let the grade control us. Just try our best!

it is up to you
