GIVE UP

Hello again everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin! 

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

Last Friday we looked at the expression take up. Today's expression has the opposite meaning.

Today's expression is: Give up

It means: to stop a habit or routine.

Example 1:
John is trying to give up smoking.

Example 2:
I gave up drinking alcohol in 2003. It was one of the best decisions of my life. 

Hopefully you have taken up doing something with English every day, and you won't give it up soon!
