I am going to try an English club. What do you think?
- That's a good idea. I think it's a great way to study English.
- I hope it works. (1)
(What does 'it'(1) refet to? And what is the meaning of 'works'? What other words can we use? What is the meaning of 'try' in the first line? Thank you.)
"it" is the act of going to the English club
"works" means "succeeds" in this case. (Success in learning English faster, perhaps).
"try" means "try out to see if it helps" in this case
In this context, 'it' in (1) refers to the English club. So, "I hope it works" means "I hope the English club is effective or successful."
The word 'works' in this context means that the English club functions well and achieves the desired outcome, which is helping you study English.
You can also use other words that convey a similar meaning to 'works,' such as 'succeeds,' 'proves effective,' or 'produces the desired results.'
The word 'try' in the first line means that you are going to attempt or make an effort to join the English club. It implies that you are interested in exploring this opportunity and seeing if it is beneficial for your English language learning journey.
