发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Rhymes: foster /ˈfɔstɚ/ and roster /ˈrɔstɚ/ share the stressed /ɔstɚ/ ending. Lookalikes that sound different: post /poʊst/ and poster /ˈpoʊstɚ/ use /oʊ/, not /ɔ/; monster /ˈmɑːnstɚ/ ends in /stɚ/ but has an extra /n/ before it, so it does not rhyme; cost /kɔst/ shares the spelled 'ost' and vowel but lacks the final /r/.
