Missing the spoken contraction and the object ‘es’. In casual speech you should say ‘nehm's’.

Cultural Tip
The contraction ‘nehm's’ is typical of everyday spoken German, especially in northern Germany. In writing—especially formal writing—you should use the full form ‘nehme es’. Also, remember that German often drops the verb “werden” for simple future intentions, relying on context and time adverbs like ‘morgen’.
