To carry on means to keep doing something without taking a break. It's like when you are reading a book and you don't stop until you finish it. Or when you are playing a game and you don't pause until you reach the end.
Remember, carrying on doesn't mean rushing through something. Take your time and focus on doing it well, even if it takes longer. Quality is just as important as persistence.
