Sample Answer
I am not a person who believes in flaunting his wealth by wearing fashionable and expensive branded clothes.
For me, it is just a waste of money to spend lavishly on clothes.
As per the old maxim, to satisfy others we should not put ourselves in an uncomfortable situation.
Having said that, I must say that some clothes have some special memories attached to them.
One can call it a superstition, but, in my opinion, it is not like that.
I love to wear a green t-shirt that my younger brother Prince gave me on my last birthday.
Prince bought a green t-shirt because green is my favorite color.
He bought it from a local shop.
As my brother had given it to me with love, I started wearing it regularly after that day.
And I started noticing that the t-shirt acted as my lucky charm.
I wore that t-shirt on my board exam result day, and I passed that exam with flying colors.
And the magic never stopped working. On many occasions, it acted as my lucky-charm.
If we talk about its quality, it is the most comfortable t-shirt I have ever had.
It’s a cotton t-shirt, so it is suitable for all kinds of weathers.
I was very curious about its price. My brother was not revealing how much it did cost.
Then one day my friend Suresh and I went to that same shop to buy that same t-shirt for Suresh.
We were quite surprised to know that the t-shirt cost only five hundred rupees.
I must confess that this t-shirt is so lovely that all my friends turn green with envy whenever they see me wearing this t-shirt.
Even if I go abroad, I will take this t-shirt with me there and wear it as long as I can.
I know I can’t wear it forever. When I can no longer wear it, I will still keep it as a souvenir.
As this t-shirt will always remind me of my younger brother Prince and the beautiful childhood memories we have shared together.

Part 3
What kind of clothes are suitable for workplace?
It completely depends on the workplace and the nature of work there.
If there is only office work, then formal clothes are suitable for that place.
But, factory workers need sturdy clothes that can take a lot of wear and tear.
Is there any difference between types of clothes people wear according to their geographic location?
Yes, definitely. People living in warmer climates wear light clothes.
In the colder climates they prefer warm clothes.
But, these days people people try to brave the weather by using air-conditioners and room heaters, and this way they wear light clothes in colder climates as they have room heaters inside their houses. Their cars and public transport vehicles too have such facilities that allow people to wear clothes that are unsuitable for the local weather.
Where do people in your country buy clothes?
People in my country used to buy clothes from traditional markets.
And this was done mainly during festival times.
Online shopping has changed the scenario.
Today many e-commerce websites sell clothes online, and people happily choose this online option as it saves time and money.
Sample Doodle:
All my family members have their personal choices about clothes. We buy readymade clothes as well as we get our made-to-measure dresses from our tailor.
In fact, my father is known for his sartorial elegance. From him I have inherited the skill to choose perfect colors and designs for different occasions.
We buy clothes regularly, and we discard clothes even before they become worn out.
We believe that we should always enhance our personality by fine clothes. It is not necessary to spend lavishly on clothes. But, we should also not think about money when it comes to looking presentable in front of our colleagues and our friends.
To buy clothes, we either had to go to shopping malls that are located on the outskirts of the city. Or, we had to go to our tailor whose shop is an hour’s drive from our home.
Then, just last month, I came to know about a new store in my area. It was just opposite the public garden where I go on weekends.
One day, I was returning from that garden and I saw a beautiful signboard of a new shop. The name “Kavya Fashion Store” was written in shining letters.
Out of curiosity, I went into the shop. I could see colorful clothes hanging everywhere. And there were many shelves that were packed with folded clothes.
The proprietor of the shop came to me and asked me about what I needed. I told him that I live in a nearby housing colony and I was surprised to see a beautiful shop like that in our area.
He was a loquacious fellow who introduced himself as Mr. Kishor Patel. This is his 4th shop in our city. The other three shops are in different parts of my city.
Selling clothes is their family business and they run some shops in our neighboring town also.
After talking for around half an hour, I took his leave and came home. I told my father about this new shop. I also gave my father the discount coupons that Mr. Kishor had given me.
The next day, my father went there and bought a designer sari for my mother and 3 cotton shirts for him. He wanted to buy a T-shirt for me, but he thought I would choose something better for myself. So, he gave me some money and asked me to go there and have something of my choice.
I called my friend Naresh and asked him to accompany me to this shop. Naresh is quite fond of wearing designer clothes.
He liked the idea.
When we went there, the proprietor Mr. Kishorbhai welcomed us. We asked him to show us the best clothes from his collection.
We purchased 4 T-shirts from there, 3 for myself and 1 for Naresh. The next day, I wore my new t-shirt that I had purchased from this shop, and went to the park.
There I met some of my friends, and they were all green with envy. They asked me about the shop from where I had purchased the t-shirt.
I told them about “Kavya Fashion Store.” Since then, we all have been frequent visitors to that shop. And not only my family, but many others in our locality patronize this shop as its loyal customers.
