You Cristov, the correct phrase is 'to have a go at' not 'in'. As for your progress report, it looks pretty good and I suggest you start completing the listening exercises too.
Many thanks, Torsten

I was thinking about using the word (more) , normally we used it before an adjective not before verb , in this case I selected the word (leave) as the meaning of vacation ,so I'll have one more leave/vacation and then. (Both might be noun) Is right to use the word (more) before verb
Thanks for your guidance in learning English |

Hello Muain,
This question is part of a whole set and when you look at them as a whole it should be obvious that the question doesn't refer to 'leave' as a noun (vacation). I understand your thought process though. Taken in isolation, your answer and explanation would be reasonable.
In this question, the verbs don't work, but 'go' is not a verb here - it is a noun.
go (noun) = an attempt or trial at something. one more go = one more try _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

I will have one more go at learning English then I'll give up on learning this language. Can I say I will try one more time at learning English then I'll have one more go another language?
best regard |

That sentence could be improved like this: Next season, I will have one more go at becoming regional champion in tennis. If I am not victorious I will give up that sport. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
