Chidren’s clothes are expensive – many parents can’t afford – parents looking for clothes that are comfortable,
reasonably priced and easy to maintain – tell friend – check out ‘pasar malam’ outlets – get an idea of the range, type
and pricing of these clothes – many parents do not make clothes – prefer to buy –children grow fast – must constantly
buy clothes.
CANDIDATE B’ S ANSWER :
Selling teenagers’ clothes – sure bet – number of teenagers on the rise – have ready cash but can’t afford more pricey
clothes sold in boutiques – they want cheap but trendy – easy to cater to teenage fashion – what teenagers want to
not seem to go out of fashion – wide range – T-shirts, jeans, blouses, little bags and other accessories are always in
dem
CANDIDATE C’ S ANSWER :
Lost of women are now working – they want to look smart – affordable prices – want something smart, fashionable,
and decent – working, so have their own pocket money – unlike women in the past – housewives, depend on
husbands – fashion constantly changes – women try to keep up – buy new, up-to-date clothes
CANDIDATE D’S ANSWER :
There are very few shops that are exclusively for men-clothes in supermarkets are mostly for women and teenagers –
range of product for men include smart shirts and pants for the office, for casual wear and leisure purpose – men
nowadays are more conscious of fashion – more willing to spend money on clothes and fashion.
