 PROLOGUE

Past continuous, used to, pronunciation and vocabulary are very basic mistakes often
encountered by students, everyday objects around us sometimes we do not know their
English names have meaning. What is that. Or we don't know when to use it when we
don't need it or use it in the wrong way, with the wrong structure, with the wrong
meaning. English pronunciation is also very important, they help us to have a more
natural, native voice.
So, today my group chose this topic to learn more about the knowledge of Past
continuous, used to and the topic "Take care!"

3
 A. TAKE CARE!

1.Definition
- The phrase "take care" is an informal expression often used to express concern, well-wishing, or a
farewell. When someone says "take care," they are typically expressing a wish for the other person's
well-being and safety. It is a friendly and considerate way of saying goodbye or expressing care for
someone's health and happiness.
2. Examples
Expressing Concern:
Duc: "I heard about your recent illness. How are you feeling now?"
Son: "I'm much better, thank you. Still recovering, but taking it easy. Thanks for asking. Take care!"
Farewell:
Huy: "I'll see you next week. Take care!"
Quan: "You too! Take care and have a safe journey."
