Question

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.)

Answer 1

"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
