In English we have a lot of ways to indicate a break. Quite a few of them involve take.
take a break
take five/take ten (the length of the break is indicated by
the number)
take a load off
take a breather
take a minute
take a second (a very short break)
examples
Okay everyone. Take a
break.
You look tired. Sit
down and take a load off.
After running the marathon Dan took a breather before his
interview.
Please note, take a rest, is not a correct expression, even
though my students use it all the time.
