Sample Answer

I live in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand state. It is a prominent city in the region and is home to many markets, complexes, and offices amongst other buildings. The most recent development in the city is the Promenade shopping complex. It is the largest shopping mall in the city. It is located in the city center, near the clock tower.

A huge and marvelous building with an all-glass front, it is splendid to look at. It is a five storey building with two extra floors dedicated to the parking space in the basement. Each floor has many large showrooms occupied by different brands. Additionally, every floor has small shops, confectionaries and food stalls in the central area. There is a dedicated food court on the top floor. The place has a vibrant mix of colors with the ambient background lighting and other subtle décor materials.

It is a great place for an outing and offers a comfortable and eventful visiting experience. Besides the shops and showrooms, the complex houses a cinema hall, a children’s playing area, and other modern amenities blended into the building. The staff is very nice and helpful, and the brands have all the latest products available. I’ve been there many times with family and friends, and have enjoyed my visits thoroughly. I visit this complex mostly on the weekends for watching movies, shopping or having a special lunch.
