发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words that rhyme with soot /sʊt/: foot /fʊt/ and put /pʊt/. Note that soot is spelled with -oot but has the short vowel /ʊ/, so lookalikes with -oot such as boot /buːt/, hoot /huːt/, and shoot /ʃuːt/ do not rhyme; they have the long vowel /uː/. The word book /bʊk/ shares the same vowel sound /ʊ/ but ends in /k/, so it is not a rhyme either.
