Reаding Pаssаge fоr Final Writing Exam Have yоu heard abоut the idiom “to cut corners?” This phrase comes from driving. It’s when you come to a sharp turn in the road and, instead of going all the way to the corner, you go straight across and cut off the corner to save time by shortening the distance you travel. Cutting corners in this sense means doing something badly or cheaply because things were left out of a process that should not have been. Cutting corners could imply laziness or complacency. If someone says “I won’t cut corners just to save money. I put quality first,” it means doing something poorly in order to save time or money. You can find many examples of someone cutting corners on the news and on newspaper’s or magazine’s headlines that create scandals to get the consumers’ attention.
