Description:
Encouraged and inspired by Mother Teresa, multi-lingual author and educator
Angela Muka offers students A Book of Idiomatic Phrases. By reading and studying
the numerous English-language idioms in the first part of this book, students
will understand the expressions, learn to write and construct various phrases,
and speak intelligently. Examples of various types of letters in the second part
of the book-such as resume cover letters, sales letters, condolence letters, and
personal letters to friends-illustrate the structure, rhythm, and etiquette of
each type of letter. Through the true-to-life examples of each idiom and the
organization and content of the letters, not only will readers learn to use
English-language idioms, but also they will be uplifted and encouraged to deal
more compassionately with others. Angela Muka's life has been like a great storm
in the ocean, pushing the waves in all different directions. As many young girls
who dream of studying abroad to enrich their lives, Angela traveled to Italy to
study Italian and German, and then went to Rome to study fashion design. World
War II put an end to her studies, and she joined her father, an ambassador, in
Egypt. From there, they went to Cannes, France, where Angela attended classes at
l'École Spéciale des Arts et Techniques de la Mode. After the war, Angela's
father told her, "I want to give you a free country-America. You are going to
love this country." There she taught dress design and pattern making at
D'Youville College in Buffalo and high-school French and German in Iroquois, New
York. Angela's first books, written at the request of her students and
colleagues, were on pattern making. After her friend, Mother Teresa, saw
Angela's book on children's patterns she said, "Now that you dressed the
children, you need to write a book to enrich the lives of young people to get
all kinds of knowledge." In response, Angela wrote this book, A Book of
Idiomatic Phrases.
