In the description.

Explanation:

For this exercise, I selected the following list of school subjects:

Math, languages, physics, biology, philosophy, mathematics, Spanish, philosophy, geography, literature, technology, biology, calculus, ethics, electronics, philosophy, literature.

The person with whom I did this exercise wrote the following subjects: mathematics, physics, calculus, electronics, biology, technology.

From this exercise and with respect to selective listening, we can then conclude that the subjects that the other person is able to retain and write quickly (during the first 30 seconds) are those that directly interest him or draw his attention, leaving aside those that are not very attractive to his taste.
