17 分钟Hi there, this is Harry, and welcome back to my podcast, where I try to help you to get a better understanding and use of your English language.
I help you through improving the grammar, hopefully.
And we look at issues like basic grammar, conversational English, business English, idioms, phrasal, verbs, and all aspects really of the English language.
So in this particular podcast, we're going to take a look at some idioms, and we're going to look at idioms using the word take.
Okay, so to take a look at something.
So we're going to look at these particular idioms, and as always, if you want to contact me, I'll give you the details at the end of the podcast and tell you how you can contact me and a few other little bits of information.
Okay, so in all, I've got ten idioms with take.
So I'll go through them all, I give you them one by one, and then I'll go through each one of them and give you some examples.
So we've got take five, take heart, take hold, take it easy, take it from me, take it into your head to do something, take issue with someone or something, take something or leave it.
We usually say take it or leave it, take centre stage and take care of yourself.
Okay, so ten idioms with take.
I'll go through each of them and give you some examples.
First one, take five.
When we say take five, it usually makes better sense when we say to take five minutes.
We're taking a break for five minutes.
Okay, guys, let's take five, meaning let's have a break.
It might not exactly be five minutes, but it's just an idiom and expression.
So take five.
So if you've had a busy morning or a hectic morning, or maybe at a meeting, somebody's getting a little bit agitated, we might suggest a short break.
Okay, guys, I think the meeting's getting a little bit out of control and we just need to step back a bit.
