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 find the answer , when I focus I saw the seat of this ride is as a piece of tree, I know the mean.
Thanks
Hi, I missed all .
Can I ask questions ?
( Go past ) , is this expression right ?
have (Funny) with (though) a new meaning ?
Thanks.
Hi monaia,
'Go past' is perfectly fine. It describes travelling towards, up to and then away from the object, like a car going along a road might 'go past' a building.
The phrase 'funny though' means here 'but that's strange'. Stephen says he wasn't scared, and Ashlie is telling him that it is strange that on the photo he looks scared.
I hope that clarifies it for you. In future, to look up words or phrases like these please try the Cambridge Dictionaries Online tool, which you can find on the right of the page.

Hello,
(Visit the ballroom, Visit the sea side.) Why do we use 'the'? I feel we must use 'to'. like this: Visit to sea side, Visit to ballroom.Please help me with this.
Thank you.
Hello naaka,
'to visit' is followed directly by a noun phrase, with no preposition (such as 'to') in English. This simply how the verb 'visit' works. If you'd like to see some examples, please look up 'visit' in our dictionary - or do a web search - and you can see lots of examples of it in use this way.

hello there
i want to ask about task 2 question 5
why the answer is embarrassed not shy,what is the difference between two words
thank you for your efforts
Hello hayaalqasem,
'Shy' can refer to a particular situation but is usually used to describe a general characteristic of a person, while 'embarrassed' refers only to a given situation and has a specific cause.
You can use the dictionary (on the right of the page) to look up words like this to see definitions and examples.
