Text | The word "band," in this podcast, means a group of musicians or people who play instruments and makes music: "The band was good, but they were nervous to play in front of a large crowd." The word has many other meanings. It can be used more generally to mean any group of people: "People who saw the robbery say that it was a band of thieves and not a single robber that took the money." Band is also a strip, or a small, but long piece of material: "When Leon hurt his arm, there were no bandages in the house so he used a band of cloth to stop the bleeding." It can also be used as a verb to mean to form a group: "The workers need to band together if they want to be taken seriously when asking for more money." |
