Hello, teachers!!
(1) Open your texts to page 50.
(2) Open your textbooks to page 50.
Which is better, (1) or (2)?
Thank you in advance. |

No. 2 is better.
A textbook is a schoolbook. The text of a work is the printed words, whether of a textbook or of any other printed work. Still, sometimes people call a textbook a "text" for short.
