Write a function that combines two lists by alternatingly taking elements. For example: given the two lists [a, b, c] and [1, 2, 3], the function should return [a, 1, b, 2, c, 3].
def new_list(list1, list2):
list = []
for item1, item2 in zip(list1, list2):
list.append(item1)
list.append(item2)
return list
