Text 1.2 Nowhere Man

to take something for granted to accept something as normal

sadly unfortunately

to fall into pieces to break into small parts

a spot a place

recently in recent times, lately

to soak to leave something in water

construction work building houses, shops etc.

the doorway the entrance to a shop or other building

nasty unfriendly

hilarious very funny

to kick to hit something with your foot

to set fire to burn something

a sleeping bag a warm sack for sleeping

matches small sticks for starting a fire

to arrive to come along

to grab to take something quickly with your hand

caution a warning

petty small, not professional

avid enthusiastic

a pile of a large amount of something

pneumonia a serious illness in the lungs

building trade the construction business

a target a goal, what you want to reach

fortunately with good luck
