Bring and take are both used to talk about carrying something or accompanying someone somewhere, but bring is used to suggest movement towards the speaker and take is used to suggest movement away from the speaker. Bring your calculator to every lesson... Anna took the book to school with her. In the first sentence, bring suggests that the person and the calculator should come to the place where the speaker is. In the second sentence, took suggests that Anna left the speaker when she went to school. You could also say 'take your calculator to every lesson' to suggest that the speaker will not be present at the lesson, and 'Anna brought the book to school with her' to suggest that Anna and the speaker were both at school.
bring和take都可用来表示携带某物或陪伴某人到某地，但bring表示向说话者靠近的动作，而take表示远离说话者的动作：Bring your calculator to every lesson（每次上课都把计算器带来），Anna took the book to school with her（安娜随身带着这本书去上学）。在第一个例句中，bring暗示计算器的携带者应该把计算器带到说话者所在的地点。在第二个例句中，took暗示安娜离开说话者所在的地点去上学。也可以说take your calculator to every lesson，表示说话者不会在课堂上。而Anna brought the book to school with her表示安娜和说话者同在学校。
