• When it is raining, we use a raincoat or waterproof jacket to protect ourselves from getting wet. We may also wear gumboots and use an umbrella.
• We use woollen clothes during the winter season because they keep our bodies warm and protect us from cold weather.
• We mainly use thin cotton clothes during the summer season because cotton absorbs sweat and helps us remain cool and comfortable in hot weather.
