发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These six words all rhyme: they have the same stressed vowel /iː/ and final /k/ (spelled -eak or -eek). They share the final sound /wiːk/ with the last syllable of 'workweek', but in 'workweek' the stress is on the first syllable, so the ending is not a true rhyme. Also, be careful: words like 'wick' (/wɪk/) and 'lick' (/lɪk/) look similar but use a short /ɪ/ vowel, so they do not rhyme with the -eak/-eek words.
