local population. Clothes sewed from imported materials – silk, velvet, brocade were a kind of wealth of their owners.
Kazakhs have always valued animal skins and furs as sewing material. Coats, or so called Tons, were sewed from animal
skins, and fur coats, such as Shash were sewed from furred animals, which were perfectly suitable for weather conditions

Example of essay
My name is Ayana. I’m 13 years old and I’m a 7th grade pupil. I don’t have many clothes, only the most necessary items. I
have some black skirts and white shirts. Because they are my regular school uniform. I also have some jeans and T - shirts,
which I often wear when I go for a walk with friends. Last month my mum bought me a pair of party dresses for special
occasions, and I really like them. I also have some sports clothes, which I wear for PE (Physical Education) lessons.
For winter time I have several sweatshirts and a warm coat. As for shoes, I have a pair of flat black shoes matching my
school uniform, a pair of sneakers for sports activities, and a pair of boots. When I was a bit younger I used to like casual
jeans and sportswear.
At the moment, my favourite clothes are dresses. I like all types of dresses: summer sarafans, triangle - shaped dresses,
polka dot dresses, lace or cotton dresses and so on. I know that jeans and a shirt is a much more comfortable wear, but
dresses look gorgeous. As I’ve said I have only a pair of classic shoes without heels. So I would like to have another pair of
dress shoes with low heels and sparkly elements.
