In recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly, ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind.

　　Why does this craze appear? There are two mainly reasons behind this phenomenon. First, it is the employments pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a large more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job markets. How can one make himself more competitive, more certificates at hands maybe. Second, the diplomas and certificates are still important standard by which many employers measure a person’s ability in order to increase qualification for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.

　　Form my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability, being crazy in getting certificates blindly. It is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.

　　近年來，為了得到一個證書已成為大學生的新熱潮。隨便問一個學生在校園里，他或她在忙什么，很可能，你可以得到答案，他或她是某種形式的證書做準備。

　　為什么會出現這種熱潮？有兩個主要原因造成了這種現象。首先，它是就業壓力迫使大學生獲得更多的證書。隨著高校擴招，大量更多的畢業生在就業市場面臨的激烈競爭。如何讓自己更有競爭力，在手也許更多的證書。二，文憑和證書仍然是重要的標準，很多雇主衡量一個人的能力，以增加工作的資格，學生強迫自己參加考試。

　　從我的角度來看，我們應該說到證書更為合理，因為證書不一定證明自己的能力，獲得證書的盲目瘋狂。它只不過是浪費時間。最后，我們應著重于提高我們的能力，但沒有得到一個沒有實際價值的證書。
