End of term

Another term's coming to an end and next one is just round the corner (there goes another idiomatic expression for you!)

When something is AROUND (or ROUND - British English) THE CORNER, it is about to happen, it will happen very soon.

Example: You'd better hurry up with that project. Deadline is just around the corner.

                   Rolling Stones reveal: new album round the corner.

Grading students is a hard task, and if you're a teacher, you know what I mean by this comic... 

Now, if you're a student, here are some requests from all teachers in the world: 

remember your test will be read by someone; when you use that desperately tiny handwriting or  lead that seems to be trying to go unnoticed you're only giving us a hard time understanding what was it that you didn't understand from our classes. 

Trust me - it won't go unnoticed... chances are you'll get a tiny question mark (if yours is one of the first tests on the pile, otherwise it'll be huge as to make up for your disuse of space) and less points than if you had made us understand what you meant.

I'll leave other tips on making exams for later. Gotta go back to my pile now ;-)
