Hi everyone, today's phrase is making the rounds.
Let me give you an example of how I've used it recently.
Someone asked me if I'd read a particular article,
and I'd already seen that article shared by several people on social media.
So I replied, yeah I have, it's been making the rounds on Facebook.
If a piece of information is making the rounds,
it means it's being distributed and circulated around a lot of different places.
Another example is this.
Last year, there was a warning about some contaminated medication for kids.
The warning was making the rounds among parents.
Parents were distributing and circulating the information to each other.
We can also talk about a person making the rounds.
This means a person is going and visiting various places.
It's often used for a visit that's sort of obligatory, as opposed to visiting a place for fun.
For example, a pizza delivery person, who has five pizzas to deliver in one area,
would make the rounds in that neighborhood, go from house to house delivering each pizza.
A doctor in a hospital might make the rounds by visiting each patient and checking on them.
Got it?
Thanks for joining me to learn today's phrase of the day.
Come back tomorrow for another one.
