#2: Initial revision
You may be confused because of accent: to native English speakers, _sick_ and _seek_ are very distinctive, and could not be confused, but to speakers of many other languages, these two vowels are difficult to distinguish. (See also, _ship_ and _sheep_, _shit_ and _sheet_, _bitch_ and _beech_.) If your book is targeting native English speakers, this will not be a problem. (However, as others have said, the word _seek_ there is a little odd anyway.)
