Certificate Craze On Campus
In recent years, getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students.Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing; quite poibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind.Why does this craze appear?
There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon.First, it is the employment preure that forces college students to get more certificates.With the admiion expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market.How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe.Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability.In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.
From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necearily prove one’s ability.Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time.To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.

Students’ Pursuit for Famous Brands
Nowadays many college students like to pursue famous brands.From clothes to mobile phones, even study articles like electronic dictionaries and pens, they are inclined to buy famous brands.Moreover, many students from poor families begin to follow this consumption trend as well.This phenomenon has aroused wide attention.
The following reasons can account for college students’ preference for famous brands.Above all, in many college students’ eyes, a famous brand is a symbol of sophistication and taste.They expect others to admire their high cla and good taste.What’s more, in modern society, famous brands to some extent are equal to fashion, which has a great attraction to young college students.Besides, parents’ spoiling their children helps form their bad consumption habit.
As far as I am concerned, it is irrational for college students to pursue famous brands.After all, most of famous brands are far beyond their consumption ability.Besides, it is not famous brands but a person’s noble character that really makes him high cla.Therefore, college students should attach more importance to cultivating a good character rather than pursuing famous brands.

A Letter Applying for a Bank Loan
Sep 12th, 2008
To whom it may concern,
I am a freshman of Lianhe University, majoring in Applied Physics.I am writing in the hope that I may obtain a bank loan to support my study in Applied Physics for the following four years.
My parents are both laid-off workers, so it’s beyond their power to finance me through the college education.To make matters worse, my mother has suddenly fallen ill and is expecting a major operation.Therefore, with the college tuition becoming a much heavier burden on my family, I am compelled to apply a RMB20, 000 bank loans.
I give you my promise that the loan would be used properly.Meanwhile, I’ll spare no effort to work hard both in the study and my future career in order to pay back the loan.I would be greatly obliged if my application is granted.And I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Song Xue
