Man: Well, I'd like to report a UFO sighting. Police Officer: A what? Man: What do you mean "what?" An unidentified flying object! Police Officer: Wait, tell me exactly what you saw. Man: Well, I was driving home from a party about three hours ago, so it was about 2:00 AM, when I saw this bright light overhead. Police Officer: Okay. And then what happened? Man: Oh, man. Well, it was out of this world. I stopped to watch the light when it disappeared behind a hill about a kilometer ahead of me. Police Officer: Alright. Then what? Man: Well, I got back in my car and I started driving toward where the UFO landed. Police Officer: Now, how do you know it was a UFO? Perhaps you only saw the lights of an airplane [No], or the headlights of an approaching car [No]. Things like that happen, you know. Man: Well if it was that, how do you explain "the BEAST"? Police Officer: What do you mean, "the BEAST"? Man: Okay. I kept driving for about five minutes when all of a sudden, this giant, hairy creature jumped out in front of my car. Police Officer: Oh, yeah.Then what? Man: Well, then, the beast picked up the front of my car and said, "Get out of the car. I'm taking you to my master!" Something like that. Police Officer: Wow? A hairy alien who can speak English! Come on! Man: I'm not making this up, if that's what you're suggesting. Then, when I didn't get out of the car, the beast opened the car door, carried me on his shoulders to this round-shaped flying saucer, and well, that's when I woke up along side the road. The beast must have knocked me out and left me there. Police Officer: Well, that's the best story I've heard all night, sir. Now, have you been taking any medication, drugs, or alcohol in the last 24 hours? You mentioned you went to a party. Man: What? Well, I did have a few beers, but I'm telling the truth.

MY NOTES: THE TOP-DOWN 1.-The top-down processin: Refers to the use of background knowledge in understanding the meaning of a message. 2.-the previous knowledge helps us to understand the message. This example about the earthawake is clear because we have lived a earthquake so we know the meaning 3.-The question that person B did make possible to understand the message , and we focus in the answer. 4.-When we hear utterances related to topics that we know for example. Go to the dentist. Go to school, go a concert. We know what we want to ask and what answers we expected to hear. 5.- Besides both participants have previous knowledge about the topics. 6.- there are some ways of teaching Top-down processing I wil show you one. 7.- The students are capable to : Use key words to connect the dialogs

Written sentences using the phrasal verbs. Jump out: Saltar a la vista Pick up: agarrar Come on: you dont beleave it! Make sthm up: invent Knock out: make you lose the consciousness
