Idioms with TAKE

Hi everybody,

It is a pleasure to write about the English classes and topics we have learned.

Last Friday, 04/09, teacher Nasseemm (thank you) explained to us new idioms with "take", like:

- Take Notice
"means please attention"

- Take Turns
"means to change"

- Take to Pieces
"means dismantle".

- Take by Surprise
"means very surprise"

- Take On
"means assume, accept"

- Take In,
"means deceived"

- Take Up,
"means to continue"

- Take ( ) Eyes Off,
"means pay attention, keep looking"

- Take ( ) Back,
"means remember, reminiscence"

- Take for Granted.
"means to expect"

I have created some phrases to practice the new vocabulary:

- Today, in the morning, I took the bus to UNSW TAKING NO NOTICE for the other passengers.

- Usually to fly to Brazil is 20 hours and the pilots have to TAKE TURNS according to the security procedures for long distance flights.
