Now let us shift gears and read this
text:
My uncle’s spaniel took
great interest in the first Apollo
space flight. Every few minutes,
he’d run eagerly towards the
television set, look underneath
and behind it, and trot back to sit
at his master’s feet. It took us
some time to realize that the
exploratory missions of Roger, the
spaniel, were in answer to the oft-
repeated “Roger” in the
astronaut’s exchanges with
Earth.
Bennett (2012)
Some of the explicit
information from the text are
the following:
The uncle owns a dog which
is a spaniel.
The spaniel’s name is
Roger.
The astronaut on television
often said the word,
“Roger.”
------------------------------------
Some of the implicit
information from the text are
the following:
The show on TV was about
the first Apollo space flight.
The dog recognizes his
name and responds when
called.
