texts and contexts
Texts are written or spoken materials, like books, articles, or conversations, that convey ideas or information. Contexts are the circumstances, background, or environment surrounding a text that influence its meaning—such as the time it was created, the culture, or the speaker’s intent. Understanding both helps us interpret what a text truly means, considering not just the words but also the situation behind them. This helps us grasp the deeper message and appreciate different perspectives.
