More likely, in English, we wouldn't use an exclamation mark for this kind of sentence.

I'd suggest this change.

FROM:
Take a seat!
TO:
Take a seat.

Remember that punctuation isn't always the same across languages.

Although French usually does put a space before an exclamation mark, this is no longer the usual practice in English.
