Answer

  1. herd (= group of animals, e.g. cows, elephants, deer, antelope)
  2. put (If you put things into perspective, you take a realistic, objective view of a situation rather than being emotional about it, and making it more serious than it really is.)
  3. scenery (= landscape, natural features of the countryside; if it is desolate, it is empty with few features)
  4. untouched (if nature is untouched, it hasn’t been changed by man; if a village is untouched, it hasn’t changed for hundreds of years)
  5. heart (if you know something by heart, it means you can remember every word; you can also say: to learn something by heart)
  6. bond (a common bond is something that joins a group of people together) 
  7. word (a word of advice = a piece of advice) 
  8. fallen (If a building falls into disrepair, it is neglected and becomes more and more damaged.)
