发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words end with the same stressed vowel and consonant sounds /iːtʃ/, so they rhyme with screech. Notice the sound is spelled 'each' in teach, beach, reach, preach, and breach, but 'eech' in speech (and in screech itself). Be careful: 'shriek' looks similar and has a related meaning, but it is pronounced /ʃriːk/ and does not rhyme; 'scratch' also looks similar but is /skrætʃ/.
