Answer Key

Chinese Phonetics is the study of the Chinese phonetic system and its structure and rules. Chinese Phonetics is characterized by syllables. The structure of Chinese Phonetics is simple， syllable boundaries clear， and tone is an important component of syllables. Chinese syllable structure has a strong regularity. The vowel is generallyan indispensable element of a syllable， and a syllable has a maximum of three consecutive vowels. Consonants go in front of vowels， which is the beginning of syllables. Only a few consonants can come after vowels， that is at the end ofsyllables. Vowels commonly only have one consonant before or after.
