Based on this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," what is the contextual meaning of the phrase "take up"? "Ah,

yes," the major said. "Why, then, do you not take up the use of grammar?" So we took up the use of grammar, and soon Italian was such a difficult language that I was afraid to talk to him until I had the grammar straight in my mind.

Answer:

The contextual meaning of the phrase "take up" in the story will mean the actual practice and use of grammar in speaking Italian.

Explanation:

To take up something basically means to try to practice, put into practice and use or do it in action anything, the thing being taken up. It is a phrasal verb that implies the start and use of anything.

<em>For example, to take up tennis means to practice and start playing tennis.</em>

Likewise, when the major said "to take up the use of grammar", he means that he should actually put into practice and start using and learning grammar.

Your uncle and aunt own a shop which is busy and successful. You sometimes help in the shop during
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

my summer experience working at my aunt and uncle's shop during the summer holidays. I didn't think much of it until I started working.

At first, it was just to help them out however I can and then look for a summer job for the holidays. But once I saw how the business was dealt with and the many elements of being a business owner, I was intrigued and decided that this shop would be my summertime job.

My aunt and uncle owned a supermarket, with all things available, from vegetables to toys to stationaries to other food items. And they are successful, with their shop being the only supermarket available around their neighborhood.

So, once I started working there, helping them out, I decided that it is best to learn about business and the inner workings from the ones I trust too. My uncle explained every part of the business, while my aunt helped me understand the importance of customer service. And through them, I learned a lot about the many aspects of running a business. It also gave me a new, fresh view of what business implies, and now, I have a deeper interest in the school's curriculum. I am even thinking of pursuing business courses once in college.

So, you see, the summer job wasn't just a part-time, temporary job for me. It was also a business class, an internship, and a real-time experience about entrepreneurship and owning one's own business. This summer wasn't so bad after all.
