　　Certificate Craze

　　For the past year or two, the pursuit of various certificates has emerged as a gold rush across the Chinese landscape. According to a recent report released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a leading think-tank in the Middle Kingdom, some 60 percent of individuals are keen on obtaining a great variety of certifications, ranging from Business English Certificate to diverse Professional Certificates. This is an intensely popular trend that we cannot afford to ignore。

　　Digging into this prevailing tide, we can identify that a couple of driving forces are at work, and the single most important one, on my personal level, is the mounting strain stemming from the cut-throat competition on the Chinese mainland. People's intentions are sharply different when pursuing a certificate. As far as the graduates are concerned, a host of students argue that diverse certificates can demonstrate their abilities and their competitive edge is hugely sharpened compared with their peers. Take a concrete example. Candidates holding a highly recognized certification will stand a much better chance of landing a decent and high-paying post. On the part of the white-collar staff, the professional certificates matter much in the course of progressing up the corporate ladder。

　　However, whether a certificate can truly reflect an individual's capability is widely questionable. As might be expected, folks are split over this issue. From my own perspective, we should be rational as to the craze of getting certificates. Most importantly, we are supposed to put honing our real skills at the top of the agenda. Only in this way can we hope to stay ahead of the increasingly stiff competition。
