The words won't stick in my mind - this means your brain can;t remember them - they disappear quickly.
I have the memory of a goldfish - this means you forget things very quickly and easily and don;t remember many things.
I have a memory like a sieve - a sieve is a bowl with holes in that we use to wash vegetables and the water to run out of the holes. When we say we have a memory like a sieve we are saying that things run out of mind (like the water) and don't stay in our mind or brain.
Hope this helps

We can talk about, "short-term memory," in regards to the type of memory that is learned recently. We can talk about how, "I forget things I recently learned," as well to have the same meaning. Lastly we can talk about, "memorizing," as this refers to making sure that we don't forget the things that we recently learned.
