话题：
近年来，大学校园里出现了“考证热”的热潮，许多即将毕业的大学生都在忙着准备各种考试，这是为了什么呢?难道考不了证就不能毕业么? 是这样么?
参考例文一：
In recent years, to get a certificate has become anew craze among college students. Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she isbusy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he is preparing for a certificate ofsome kind. Why does this craze appear?
There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. To begin with, it is theemployment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admissionexpansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the jobmarket. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe.Furthermore, diploma and certificates are still vital standards by which a good many employersmeasure a person's ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the studentscompel themselves to run from one exam to another.
From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, sincecertificates do not necessarily prove one's ability. Being crazy in getting certificates blindly isnothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but notgetting a certificate of no practical value.
参考例文二：
If you just randomly ask a student on campus what he is busy doing, very possibly, he may answer that he is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Investigating a little more, you will find that this has become a new craze among college students.
The reasons behind the phenomenon can be summarized into just one: the pressure of finding a job after graduation. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to compete for the limited job posts. How to make oneself more competitive? Maybe more certificates at hand. Hoping that the employers might find one of them more attractive, the students are compelled to run from one exam to another.
As far as I am concerned, the students should have a more rational attitude toward certificates, because exam certificates do not necessarily represent one's ability.
For me, one should work hard at his or her major. Opportunity will come to you if you are competent enough in your field.
