1. 现在许多人热衷于各种证书考试；
2. 其目的各不相同；
3. 在我看来。

Presently, training schools of various kinds have gained increasing popularity not only for college students, but also for people who have stepped out of the ivory tower. They spring up like mushrooms to cater for people’s craze for certificates. We may wonder: what might be the cause of the craze?

The primary reason, as is known to all, is the fierce competition and contest in the job market as a result of the population explosion. This is true especially after the expansion of college admission. As a result, a master’s degree, let alone a bachelor’s degree, cannot guarantee a job with a decent salary. In this case, an increasing number of youngsters burn midnight oil to pass endless examinations so that they may obtain an edge over others in the fight for desired positions, because they are convinced that the certificate – rewards of the exams – will qualify them for the posts they hope for.

Apart from the competition for jobs, another equally important factor is the desire for knowledge. Some students, study-holics in the eyes of other people, are always craving for new knowledge in diverse fields but afraid to stop halfway in the pursuit. For these individuals, a certificate is a spur to continuous effort. For this reason, they are often seen on the way from one examination to another for a new certificate.

No doubt, hard work for certificates can benefit us in many ways. It can bring us knowledge and access to jobs we desire. But surely a certificate is not everything. It cannot provide us with creativity, which is a must for invention and innovation. It even cannot give us security for a job. The best winner is the training school: they earn millions of dollars from the certificate craze.

与四级作文大多围绕校园生活不同， 六级写作的题目更多偏向校园外面的世界。但这次正好相反：四级考的是网购、六级考的是证书热（更多偏向学生群体）。

题目的主体段落要求考生分析不同考证者的不同目的（intention）。其实就是让考生分析考证热的几个原因。要分析原因，就必须列举这种狂潮究竟能给我们带来什么好处。所以，因果往往紧密相连。因里含果；果中有因。实际上，无论提纲要求如何变化，几乎所有的文章不外乎都是让我们回答： Why? What? How? 万变不离宗。

考证热的原因很多。本文仅列两条正面影响。每条稍加说明。对于六级作文这样就够充实了。

结尾段提出考证热的不足和反思。相反相成，文章之道。
