Default Compound nouns

HI everybody,
on my English course I have a homework connected with compound nouns. I have two groups of words (nouns):
A: home, public, orking, dress, health, college, Tv, gap, family
B: club, programme, year, cooking, transport, pet, hours, code, friends

I should combine the words A with B to make compund nouns. More than one combination may be possible.

I found this:
public transport
working hours
health programme
health club
TV programme
family friends

Please correct, if I am wrong. Maybe somebody have more ideas?
Thank you for your help.

Ewa

First-rate job. ("working" is a gerund, not a noun.)
