I shall elucidate:

A. You should not care if you are not a chess player, have no OTB rating, etcetera.

B. Tournament chess games are timed. Thus, a serious player needs a clock. Also, it adds immensely to the intensity of games.

C. Run out of time—you lose the game.

D. You need the clock to play competitive chess.

how to read chess clocks?

Ah.... why should I care? I mean, why do you use a chess clock? What happens in the game if my time expires? Why do I need the clock, again?

Myopic presentations do little to educate and inform the public. Try to explain this a bit better than you did. It does no good to say we need a chess clock and not know why we do.
