Words from Cora McIntock listening exercise

excelled did very well

coating thin layer of something

predicament trouble, a dangerous situation

simmer boil, or cook just below the boiling point

good-for-nothing worthless

assailant a person who attacks

prospects the outlook for the future

teeming with an abundance, a lot of

shack up with move in with

precaution something you do to make sure nothing bad happens

unprecedented never before known or experienced

simultaneously at the same time

plain sailing an easy or unobstructed course or plan

enigmatic puzzling, mysterious

concoction a mixture of (often) liquid ingredients

consent to permit, approve or agree on something

courageous brave

predestined decided in advance

gutted removed the insides of an animal

lousy very bad
