1st Task

Semantics, the study of meaning in language, can help students develop important communication and critical thinking skills. While semantics offers insights into how we derive meaning from words, it is not static or universally applicable due to factors like cultural and technological changes over time, differences across languages and dialects, and variations in meaning based on context. When exploring semantics, it is important for students to consider its potential modifications, limitations, and dependence on contextual factors to avoid misunderstandings.
