Transcript
Stephen: This may look like Paris, but we’re in Blackpool, in the North of England - about an hour’s drive from Manchester. And as you can see, it’s a seaside town and for more than a hundred years people have been coming here for their holidays. In fact, Ashlie and I used to come here when we were kids.
Ashlie: Yes, that’s right. I used to love coming to Blackpool – the beach, the sunshine, the fish and chips. And the ice cream…
Stephen: And I love the theme park and all the rides. Come on Ash, this is going to be great!
......
Stephen: Excuse me. Have you just been on this?
Punter: Yeah mate!
Stephen: What was it like?
Punter: It were crazy! I’ve been on it about four times – I can’t get enough!
Stephen: Was it scary?
Punter: It was scary – I think it was.
Stephen: But you enjoyed it?
Punter: Yeah – I loved it.
Stephen: Alright – thanks guys – see you later!
......
Stephen: Come on Ash, shall we have a go?
Ashlie: No way!
Stephen: Oh Ash, don’t be such a chicken.
Ashlie: No way, Stephen. You can have a go on that if you want, but there is no way I'm going on it.
Stephen: I’ll wave to you when I go past. See you later!
Ashlie: See you!
......
Ashlie: Hiya! Blimey, are you OK? You look a little white, Stephen.
Stephen: What? I’ve never felt better. That was amazing, Ashlie. You should have come on it, too. Shame you were too scared.
Ashlie: You weren’t scared?
Stephen: Of course not. I loved it.
Ashlie: Oh, that’s great - funny though. If you weren’t scared, well then - who’s this is in the photographs?
Stephen: Um ...
Ashlie: I mean it looks like you, doesn’t it? Look, he’s even wearing the same t-shirt.
Stephen: Oh, come on Ash, let’s have a look at the other rides.
......
Ashlie: Oh, I like the look of this one, the log flume. Shall we have a go on that?
Stephen: You can if you want, but... to be honest, it doesn’t look like my kind of ride. I like the exciting ones, you know? I’ll watch you. Are you sure you’ll be OK? You’re not scared of getting wet?
Ashlie: Don’t worry – I’ll be fine.
......
Ashlie: Stephen, look at you. What happened?
Stephen: Don’t ask! Why aren’t you wet? You know what? I think I’ve had enough of the theme park. I need to sit down.
Ashlie: I’ll tell you what - why don’t we go and have a nice cup of tea, eh?
Stephen: And some fish and chips? Yeah, let’s do that.
Ashlie: Come on then.
......
Stephen: Hang on, Ash. We’ll have that cup of tea in a minute, but first I have got to have a go on that.

Hi
I don't understand the meaning of have a go on (rids). Could you explain it to me please?

Hi Pegah,
Can you take a guess by reading the transcript and looking at the context of the sentences that use it? What do you think Stephen and Ashlie meant when they said it?
Best wishes,

Hello loaikhamis!
Sorry to hear you're having problems! So I can help you, could you answer these questions?
