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.

　　近年来，为了得到一个证书已成为大学生的新热潮。随便问一个学生在校园里，他或她在忙什么，很可能，你可以得到答案，他或她是某种形式的证书做准备。

　　为什么会出现这种热潮？有两个主要原因造成了这种现象。首先，它是就业压力迫使大学生获得更多的证书。随着高校扩招，大量更多的毕业生在就业市场面临的激烈竞争。如何让自己更有竞争力，在手也许更多的证书。二，文凭和证书仍然是重要的标准，很多雇主衡量一个人的能力，以增加工作的资格，学生强迫自己参加考试。

　　从我的角度来看，我们应该说到证书更为合理，因为证书不一定证明自己的能力，获得证书的盲目疯狂。它只不过是浪费时间。最后，我们应着重于提高我们的能力，但没有得到一个没有实际价值的证书。
