rhymes and limericks: very hard!!!

[bieasy]

Hi,

Can someone help me?
I have a difficult exercise to solve. It's about Rhymes and limericks. We have to match the two columns.

Rhymes with:
bread height
choose reign
toes chief
hate nude
tight bought
full knew
pool said
blood deaf
food knows
leaf pour
taught fool
chef grieve
through weight
wore mud
brain put
leave wool
foot lose

What are your ideas? To quote someone whose name escapes me, this has not been '"tried and found wanting", but found difficult and not tried at all'.

Use a decent dictionary, and note the IPA transcriptions. If you don't use the IPA I don't see how you can hope to learn to speak a language in which - for example - one group of written letters can make seven different sounds: cough tough though through bough thought borough (/ɔ ʌ ǝʊ u: ɑʊ ɔ: ə /). Sorry, but if you don't make an effort you won't get anywhere (at least, you won't get anywhere worth getting).
