| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to make the most of (something)" means to take full advantage of something, to use an opportunity to its fullest potential, and to not waste something: "Make the most of your campus tour. Ask questions, learn from current students, and try to find out if this university is a good fit for you." The phrase "to make too much of (something)" means to treat something with more significance than it deserves, or to pretend something is more important than it really is: "Don't make too much of this presentation and worry about it too much. It's just a class assignment." Finally, the phrase "To make the best of a bad situation" means to find something positive in a bad or challenging situation: "They had to leave their home for a week while the professionals got rid of the rats, but they made the best of a bad situation by treating it like a vacation." |
