Hi guys,
This week's homework is to go to http://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/collocations.htm  , read what it is said there about collocations.
After doing that, find another page on collocations and look for collocations on "have" and "take", choose 5 of each, write them, try to get the meaning from your memory file, then look for the dictionary meaning and write a sentence with each. This must be placed in this blog.
