When you take a shower, you're mixing a combination of hot and cold water to make a comfortable temperature for the shower water. A toilet draws only off the cold water system. In older or poorly designed Plumbing systems, when you flush the toilet, the cold water is pulled by toilet, so the water coming through the shower is only drawing from the hot water tank.

Why is it He is taking a shower and not He is doing or making a shower Is there an easy explanation?

One definition of take is "To participate in, undergo, or experience." 'Doing a shower' is an awkward phrase and better replaced by simply 'showering.' 'Making a shower' is actually the act of building the device we use to clean ourselves. 'Having a shower' is acceptable and means the same thing as 'taking a shower.' I think in this case, the difference is geographical. I believe it is more common to 'have a shower' in Britain and 'take a shower' in the US.

Why is it when your taking a shower and someone flushes the toilet you lose all water pressure?

Imagine a hose pipe in the garden. When the water is on and there is nothing attached to the working end, the water comes out in a steady pour. Now, if you put your thumb over the end suddenly the water starts to squirt out under pressure from beneath your thumb. This is because as you constrain the flow the mains pressure behind the water mounts up to its maximum value while with the unobstructed hose there is no pressure because the water is moving out of the pipe at an equilibrium rate. Now, if you think of the shower, it constrains the flow of the water, rather like your thumb over the hose end and when someone flushes the toilet this creates another opening in the pipe coming to your house and the pressure goes away like the unconstrained hose end. To avoid this problem many people supply their shower from a header tank in the roof which is filled from the mains separately and provides a constant dedicated supply to the hot water system and the cold side of the shower so that the pressures in each balance.
