wangqh2696122 Do native speakers use "take a chance" and "take a risk" interchangeably? I don't think they are usually interchangeable. There are circumstances where "chance" is more likely, like in decisions involving love, emotions and perhaps careers or education, and other circumstances, like financial loss, and physical danger, where "risk" is more likely.
