The idiom “To be worth a shot” is used when someone suggests giving something a try because it is worth the effort. Sara had a strong desire to become a member of the drama club at her high school. However, she discovered that the registration process was moving quickly, and there were only a few seats available. The registration hall was a 20-minute walk from where Sara was at the moment. Feeling disheartened, Sara’s friend, Jessie, stepped in to encourage her. Jessie reassured Sara, saying that even though success was not guaranteed, it was worth giving it a shot. Urging Sara to start walking quickly, Jessie wished her good luck. Taking her friend’s advice to heart, Sara made her way to the registration hall, and to her pleasant surprise, she secured a seat in the drama club.
