Answer

The best word for "take a note" is ghi chú, not ghi chép cho ghi phép.
ghi chép is just "writting/writting down"

Ghi phép has another meaning such as "to write a application form for leave/absence" (for Office or Class)
Ghi phép is not wrong but we never use it, we use "viết giấy xin phép" "làm đơn nghỉ phép" instead.

Teaching Vietnamese to foreigners is my previous job, but I hope I can help people sometimes.
