+# --description--
+
+Each Pinyin syllable is spoken with a specific tone, and these tones are just as important as the initials and finals in determining its pronunciation.
+
+A change in tone can completely alter the meaning of a syllable, even when the initials and finals remain exactly the same.

+
+There are four main tones, plus a neutral tone, in Mandarin Chinese. Let's practice pronouncing `a` with different tones.
+
+**Note:** In this curriculum, when you use the Pinyin Tone input and the Pinyin-to-Hanzi input, the number following a Pinyin should follow this convention:
+
+- 1 indicates the first tone, the mark of which is `ˉ`.
+
+- 2 indicates the second tone, the mark of which is `ˊ`.
+
+- 3 indicates the third tone, the mark of which is `ˇ`.
+
+- 4 indicates the fourth tone, the mark of which is `ˋ`.
+
+- 5 indicates the neutral tone, which has no tone mark.
+
+# --transcript--
+
+The first tone is a high and level tone that stays steadily high without rising or falling.
+
+The second tone is a rising tone that starts in the middle and moves upward to a high point.
+
+The third tone is a low dipping tone that starts in the middle, falls to a low point and then rises again.
+
+The fourth tone is a sharp falling tone that starts high and drops quickly to the bottom.
+
+There is also a neutral tone, which is short and soft. It is not marked with any tone mark.
+
+# --assignment--
+
+I've watched the video and practiced pronouncing this final.

 The first simple final you'll learn is `a`.

-To pronounce `a`, open your mouth wide naturally, keep your jaw relaxed. Your tongue should lie flat and low in your mouth. Make sure the sound is steady and clear. Do not round your lips or spread them too much.
