Give it a go - example

There was this boy who loved abseiling. His mate would say that there was no way he could do the same. "Come on, it’s easy - give it a go, you'll like it." His friend hummed and hawed until eventually he said ok he would give it a go. The first time his heart was in his mouth and he was terrified he would fall. But he got on fine and liked it so much that he kept going back for more.
