Collocations, connectors and a tragic story

Hello everyone! This is a brief summary of last ADULTS class.
This is the reading text we put in order last night.

We used this picture to re-tell the story after listening to the ending on the tape

We also learnt what COLLOCATIONS are:
(from Cambridge Dictionary)
Collocation is a word or phrase which is often used with another word or phrase, in a way that sounds correct to people who have spoken the language all their lives.
 For example we say DO HOUSEWORK NOT MAKE HOUSEWORK

Do you remember the verbs phrases we studied last class?
Here you are 
BE IN A HURRY
RUN ACROSS THE ROAD
KNOCK ON THE DOOR
PLAY A SONG
INVITE SOMEBODY TO DINNER
MEET IN A COFFEE BAR
TAKE SOMEBODY TO A RESTAURANT 
TRY TO STOP
WAIT FOR SOMEBODY

 

Then we got a gnawing doubt: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TAKE AND BRING?LET'S SEE TOGETHER




 We use TAKE when the movement is away from the speaker.
Example: It's raining. Take your umbrella with you.

Or When you go somewhere with somebody

Example: The boss is taking his new girlfriend to the new Japanese restaurant.

We use BRING when the movement is toward the speaker

Example: I've brought my son with me this morning.

Can you bring the book I lent you some weeks ago?
