【正确答案】[参考范文]
   
   As we all know, in recent years, getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Just causally ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, and you are likely to get the reply that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this phenomenon occur?
   There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. Socially, the employment pressure forces college students to get more certificates. With the expansion of college enrollment, graduates have to face much more fierce competition in job markets, and most employers indeed measure one's ability with certificates. Individually, college students tend to blindly follow suit. They try every effort to keep up with the others despite the quality of certificates.
   From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, for they do not definitely prove one's ability. We should focus on improving comprehensive abilities but not getting certificates of little practical value.
