Never have the embarassement of forgeting a name again

 Summary:
This piece of news is the answer to a reader. The reader is Dan, and he ask: "Why do we forget people's names when we first meet them?".
The reason of that is because our minds are associative. Our minds are built out of patterns of interconnected information. Normally we use simple things to remember the name of the person, and they give an example: you remember the name of your cousin Mary because you read  book printed in Paris and in Paris have the Torre Eiffel and  your cousin Mary was in Paris and Mary likes pistachio ice cream. All of these things are for coincidence of time, place, the meaning etc. This simple thing also can help us to remember that Torre Eiffel is the most famous monument in Paris.
These are easy things that can help the people a lot.
My opinion:
I never thought that related nonsense things with my thoughts can help me to remember the names and other things. I think that is a good way can help me a lot with my exams and homework. From now I will use this trick. In my opinion, exercise the brain is very useful to have a good memory.
Difficult words:
-Lengthy: llarg

Beauty


Beauty is only a external thing a complement of a person. When you meet a person, the first rhing you see is the phsysical, but after the thing of you appreciate of this person, is the behavior, the inside. The beauty isn't important, being beautiful don't solve the big problems of the life. In my opinion is ore important have friend who love you, that being beauty and stay alone.
I desafree with this quote that Basil says to Dorian: "But beauty won't last forever. When your youth goes, your beauty will go with it. There is absolutely nothing in the world but youth" beause when people grow up they can being beauty. Being younger isn't equivalent to being beautiful. My opinion reflect that beauty doesn't need to be fashionable, it's true that is a permanent subject in actual society but we must learn how to live with it without obsessing on having a perfect image
