Hello Hamdy Ali, This depends on the context. In British English, 'take a trip' is the normal collocation. In US English, 'take' is also more common. However, you can say 'make a trip' when you want to emphasise the planning or intention rather than the actual trip itself. ~ Peter The LearnEnglish Team

I can do many actions at the same time. An example, I can touch on my keyboard while I am thinking about the girl that I love most, and smiling.

Work is really exciting when I listen to music; it makes me happy and feels good. Usually, I eat my lunch while watching a TV or speaking with my friends.

I can do 3 actions at the same time; look, write or type and speak. And I run every evening these days.

I usually speak, listen, and write at the same time because I'm a teacher.
