Sentence:
3 type of memory- immediate, short-term, long-term.
Note:
When you make notes from paragraphs, find the most important sentence in each paragraph and then write the sentence in note form.Sometimes you can draw diagrams to show the connection between the paragraphs.
Some scientists believe that there are three types of memory-immediate, short-term and long-term.
. Immediate memory holds information for less than a second, e.g. the name of a road
you have just seen. Then it either forgets it or passes it into short-term memory.
. Short-term memory can hold about seven items of information at a time, e.g. telephone numbers. It holds them for about 30 seconds. Then it either forgets them or passes them
into long-term memory.

e.g. the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The other remembers knowledge, e.g. the
names of countries or the meanings of words.
