Hãy cùng đọc ngữ cảnh sử dụng thực tế của động từ Take qua bức thư gửi Jean dưới đây:

"Hi Jean, We're so glad we decided to take a holiday here. Yesterday we took a trip to the mountains. First we took a train to a little town and then we took a bus going to various villages and got off when we saw one that we took a liking to. Of course, we were taking a risk as we didn't know exactly what we'd find there. But we were lucky. Some kids took an interest in us and showed us some great places. We took a lot of photos. Have you done anything yet about your job? I'd take a chance and leave if I were you. No point in staying somewhere where the boss has taken a dislike to you! Take advantage of being in London - there are always plenty of jobs there. You'll soon find something else, so take action, that's my advice! Good luck! Ellen"
