Grammar
What does this mean?
I get pressure put on me at school, but I think you have to make what you can of it.
I guess the above means
1. I get pressure put on me at school => When I am at school, I get under pressure.
Do you think the expression 'get pressure put on me' is grammatically OK? I think it should be "I get pressure to put me on at school", isn't it?
2. You have to make what you can of it. => you should you anything you can.
I can't understnad the clause. What is the object of "make"? Is it "what you can of it"? If then, what does the "it" refer to? the stress?
Or, Does the "make of it" have any idomatic meaning? If then ,"what you can" will be an inserted part. What is it. Please teach me!!
