the situation is
A:you really should give this a chance.
Do you know why?
B:Why?
A:Because if you don't try new thing, you never gonna know what you're missing out on.
I tried to construe this sentence,but it doesn't make sence.
if it is "get a chance" not"give this a chance",I can understand.
In the first place,the above conversation is correct flow of conversation wise?

thank you! and
let me ask you one more question.
I can say "give that a chance" as same meaning to"give this a chance"?

Yes, your situation makes sense. "Because if you don't try new things, you're never going to know what you're missing out on."
"Get a chance" is used in different situations. For example, "I will call my mom when I get a chance."
And yes, you can say "give that a chance," but it is not said as often.
