- not expressed clearly; only suggested;

indirectly stated
 Recognizing the Explicit
Practice:
All living things are made up of cells. Since
humans are alive, we are also made of cells.
Cells make our body tissue. Tissue makes our
body organs. Organs make our body systems.
Cells are the building blocks of our bodies.

Here are 2 explicit questions to answer:

1. What are made of cells?

2. What is the main idea of the text?

 Recognizing the Explicit
Answer:
Since
humans are alive, we are also made of cells.
Cells make our body tissue. Tissue makes our
body organs. Organs make our body systems.

Here are 2 explicit questions to answer:

 Explicit Information
- Explicit information is any idea that is
stated.
- With explicit information, you see the text
explained!
- Since you are looking for explicit information in
what is read, the explicit information will be written
in the text. There is no need to look for clues. Just
read. If the information is written, it is explicit.
Recognizing the Explicit
 Processing the Implicit

 What is the
implied message
with this ad?
 Implicit Message

 Even in the year 2012, some

people are under the
assumption that it is a woman’s
role in life to clean and take
care of the household.
Processing the Implicit
 Implicit Message
 This is an example of implicit advertising as it
implies a rivalry between the mentioned car
manufacturers (Subaru, BMW and Audi).
 The advertisement congratulates and shoots
down the efforts of the other car manufacturers
in one sentence, which could be considered as
being quite patronising and again demonstrates
the rivalry.
Processing the Implicit
 Implicit Message
 This is another example of implicit advertising
which again implies a rivalry between two
more car manufacturers, BMW and Jaguar.
 This advertisement uses no written
communications whatsoever, just two car
bonnets facing off to each other, like a head to
head, showing more of the BMW making its
presence more prominent implying it’s the more
powerful car.
