近年來， 獲得證書已成為大學生的新熱潮。為什麼出現這股考證熱?
這種現象背後主要有兩個原因。首先，就業壓力迫使大學生去獲得更多的證書。隨著高校擴招，有更多的畢業生要面對就業市場的激烈競爭。如何能使自己具有更多的競爭力?也許手頭要有更多的'證書。其二，文憑和證書仍然是許多僱主衡量一個人能力的重要標準。為了具備更多的工作資格，學生們不得不參加一場又一場的考試。
從我的角度看，我們更應理性地看待證書，因為證書並不一定能證明自己的能力。瘋狂地獲取證書只不過是浪費時間。總之，我們應著重於提高我們的能力，而不是得到一個沒有實際價值的證書。

Certificate Craze on Campus
In recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Why does this craze appear?
There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more gradates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.
From 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 is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value. (161 words)
