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.

　　文章點評：
　　1. 邏輯結構上，本文大體也是按照“提出問題(考證熱的現象)”“分析問題(背后的動力)”和“解決問題(個人的觀點)”的結構展開。
　　2. 本文的亮點非常多，用語非常地道，用英語思維催動出來的英語文章，才是真正的極品。相比用中式思維催動出來的英語文章，這篇文章是很美味的，強烈建議大家背誦下來。大家記得《天龍八部》嗎?鳩摩智用小無相功催動出的招式是敵不過藏經閣里的掃地和尚的。總之，我們大可不必刻意使用難詞難句，其實表意明確，用語地道的文章，就肯定可以拿到高分。
