Let's look at this example
To Paul,
Ya, I feel really great today, I'd met lots of new friends and they're so kind!! Let's travel H.K. You will love it!!
上下文:
What is H.K?
According to following information it should be a place (making a guess I'm not sure it and I don't know what it actually refer to)
語境
Who is Paul?
Paul should be the writer's friend.
Since the writer used the abbreviation form when he was writing the letter.
It's not easy to classify '語境' and '上下文'. They're interchangeable in majority instance. You may know more about it after you will have read lots of example sentences.
