RECOGNIZING THE
EXPLICIT
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.
PROCESSING THE
IMPLICIT
Implicit information is understood but it is
not stated. To find implicit information in what
is read, you will have to think about what you
read. Look for clues as you read. Implicit
information is not written.
PARAGRAPH:

to live. They eat food for energy.
Water keeps their bodies working

WRAP UP
• Explicit information is any idea that is
stated.
• Implicit information is understood but it is
not stated.
• Implicit information is using what is read to
make an inference.
• But what is an inference? How can we differ
it from implicit information.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
INFERENCE AND IMPLICIT
• Imply INFORMATION
If a speaker or writer implies something,
they are suggesting it in an indirect way rather
than making an explicit statement. As a reader
or listener, you are left to draw your own
conclusion from what has been said or hinted.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
INFERENCE AND IMPLICIT
• Infer INFORMATION
When someone infers something, they reach
a conclusion or decide that something is true on the
basis of the evidence available. If they are listening
to or reading another person’s words, they come to
a conclusion about what is meant even though the
writer or speaker has not stated this explicitly.
• He implied that the General had been a
traitor.
[presented from the writer’s or speaker’s perspective]

• I inferred from his words that the General had


[presented from thebeen a traitor.
listener’s perspective]

• In the fist sentence, the writer or speaker doesn’t actually


claim that the General had been betrayed his country, but
his words (or even his tone) have suggested that this is the
case.
• In the second sentence, whatever was said about the
General has enabled the listener to deduce that he was in
fact a traitor (without the writer or speaker having risked a
charge or libel or slander).
ACTIVITY:
Read the paragraph below and list down all the
necessary information on your T chart.

The sun gives us light and heat. During the


day, it makes the sky bright. The sun helps
plants grow by giving them energy. People
and animals also need sunlight to stay
healthy. Without the sun, the Earth would be
dark and cold.
