Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse "adaptation" with "adoption". "Adaptation" is about changing to fit something new; "adoption" is about taking something as your own (for example, adopting a child or adopting an idea). Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: say "adaptation TO new conditions", not *"adaptation FOR new conditions" in most cases.
