Pronunciation of digraphs beginning with "e"

I wrote the transcriptions in Ex. 1 using ToPhonetics at tophonetics.com.

Ex. 1 Look at the following words and write how to pronounce the digraphs beginning with the letter "e". Note that in some words the letters in question belong to different syllables (so the letter combinations are not technically digraphs).

EA   read (infinitive), read (past), lead (verb), lead (metal, Pb), Reading, dream team, create, reapply
EE seem, keep, need, week, peek, deer, leer
EI beige, foreign, heist, neighbour, receive, reign, reindeer, weird
EO neon, Leo, deontic, deodorant
EU Europe, eulogy, reuse (verb, noun)

Ex. 2 Are the following pairs of words pronounced the same?

a. sweet - sweat   b. peel - peal   c. wheel - we'll   d. peek - peak   e. way - whey   f. wether - weather g. wheat - wait   h. meet - meat   i. pear - peer   j. tear (crying) - tear (rip)
