New word ~ “ play up “

I learned new word-“play up “from the Chapter 15 Of “The Third Ear” recently .

Original sentence:
Play up the fact that you are a learner, and that you aren’t very good yet.

“ play up “means
“ emphasize “、”to try to persuade people to believe that something is more important than it is “

I try to practice making up sentences :
1. This ethnic group’s clothing features play up contrasting colors.
2. May played up her experience.
3. Some media reports like to play up sensational social news.
