審題思路

本題是一道分析利弊/差異型的題目，要求論述證書對學生的重要性 ：證書是證明自己的一種方式。因此，本文的側(cè)重點是證書是如何證明自己的，可以從以下方面論述 ：

其一 ，證書是學習能力的證明；

其二 ，證書是積極進取的證明；

其三 ，證書是興趣廣泛的證明。

Certi?cation: A Way to Prove Oneself

For a growing number of Chinese people, the most productive thing to do with one’s spare time is to study for some kind of certification. From languages to business skills to teaching, certi?cations act as proof of one’s interest, attitude and ability. More and more, a resume with degrees and work experiences looks a bit boring; certi?cations are like accessories —they complete the out?t.

引言部分：作者提出了考證熱這個現(xiàn)象，并亮出觀點：證書是一個人興趣愛好 、學習態(tài)度和學習能力的證明，因此 ，概括了主體部分將重點論述的方面。

Certifications accomplish several purposes. First, they show employers that one is diversi?ed. While one’s interest is not limited to only one major, he will win himself more chances of jobs than others, which is likely to result in a good-paying job and better employability. Besides, certi?cations indicate that the owner is proactive; he is not sitting around in his spare time. Instead, he is constantly looking to improve himself. This is what sets one applicant apart from the rest when applying for a sought-after position.

What’s more important is that the certifications prove that the person has great potential as he is good at study and has a good sense of balance. He has made an effort to learn more skills while keeping focused on his major or occupation.

主體部分：作者采用的是總分式結(jié)構(gòu)，先概述證書能起到幾個作用 ，然后具體分述了三方面的作用：證書證明興趣廣泛，可以帶來更多工作機會；說明態(tài)度積極進取，給人更好的印象表明學習能力出眾，有潛力。

All in all, certifications give students more con?dence in the job market as they demonstrate that ??the owners have wider interest, more proactive attitude and stronger learning ability.

總結(jié)部分：作者用all in all自然過渡到結(jié)尾段落，并再次概述證書的作用，可以給學生帶來更多自信。
