Let me work through each word carefully by looking at the picture and choosing the correct diphthong.
1.
House (picture of a house): h _ _ se → "ou" makes "house" ✓
2.
Town (picture of a town/countryside): t _ _ n → "ow" makes "town" ✓
3.
Mountain (picture of mountains): m _ _ ntain → "ou" makes "mountain" ✓
4.
Oyster (picture of an oyster shell): _ _ ster → "oy" makes "oyster" ✓
5.
Boy (picture of a boy with glasses): b _ _ → "oy" makes "boy" ✓
6.
Point (picture of a pointing finger): p _ _ nt → "oi" makes "point" ✓
7.
Down (picture of a down arrow): d _ _ n → "ow" makes "down" ✓
8.
Round (picture of a tennis ball - round shape): r _ _ nd → "ou" makes "round" ✓
Let me verify each one:
- house = h + ou + se ✓
- town = t + ow + n ✓
- mountain = m + ou + ntain ✓
- oyster = oy + ster ✓
- boy = b + oy ✓
- point = p + oi + nt ✓
- down = d + ow + n ✓
- round = r + ou + nd ✓
