You've just met john at a party and he gives you his phone number so you can get together later. you didn't write it down right away, and a few minutes later, you have forgotten it. this is because you failed to move the number from -term memory to -term memory.

Short; long

Explanation:

When we create a memory, this is stored in the mind in different ways. First, the memory is stored in the sensory stage. It is then moved to the short-term memory, and in some cases, it ends up being moved to the long-term memory. However, we do not keep all the memories we make, because the brain can consider some to be unecessary, irrelevant, or traumatic. In this example, we have forgotten the number because we did not move it from short-term to long-term memory.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
