take notes — write notesA: Did you take notes in the meeting?
B: Yeah, I wrote down all the important points.
Due tomorrow
Sam: Have you done your homework for tomorrow? I've barely started.
Lucy: Nearly. I just need to give it in by nine or it doesn't count.
Sam: Tell me about it. I'll be up half the night doing my homework.
Lucy: Crack on, then. Fair enough if you give the gym a miss tonight.
Crossed out
Joe: Why's half your essay crossed out? You've drawn lines through loads of it.
Aisha: I was waffling. I had to cross out anything that didn't answer the question.
Joe: Fair enough. Did you take notes in the lecture? Mine are useless.
Aisha: Loads. Come round later and you can copy them up.
