The job market today is increasingly sophisticated, requiring workers to have specialized knowledge in their fields. As a result, becoming certified is a trend among today’s job seeking youth. More and more people, students especially, look at obtaining certification as a means to getting a better job and, therefore, enjoying brighter future.
　　There are as many certificates as there are fields of study. Lawyers will take the LSAT, business majors will take the GMAT to further their study in the US, and those who study a foreign language, like English, might take the TOEFL, TOEIC, or any number of English certification exams.
　　Is this necessary? Or, is the “certification craze” just a trend that will eventually pass? I myself have obtained two different certifications: one in Japanese (N2) and another in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). Both of these certifications have been beneficial in getting good jobs. Therefore, it is my opinion that, trend or not, the results of becoming certified are real and can be invaluable in opening up future opportunities.

　　文章点评：
　　1. 逻辑结构上，本文大体也是按照“提出问题(考证热的现象)”“分析问题(背后的动力)”和“解决问题(个人的观点)”的结构展开。
　　2. 本文的亮点非常多，用语非常地道，用英语思维催动出来的英语文章，才是真正的极品。相比用中式思维催动出来的英语文章，这篇文章是很美味的，强烈建议大家背诵下来。大家记得《天龙八部》吗?鸠摩智用小无相功催动出的招式是敌不过藏经阁里的扫地和尚的。总之，我们大可不必刻意使用难词难句，其实表意明确，用语地道的文章，就肯定可以拿到高分。
