        如果问学中文普通话的朋友：哪一部分最难？相信很多人都会说：“声调，四个声调。” 我经常对学生说：“说中文普通话就像唱歌一样，其实不难。” 或许有人会说：你这是：“站着说话不腰疼”，我要说的是：如果您把最困难的“四声”问题解决好了，说好普通话其实还是一件挺愉快的事情。

Береза
Белая береза
Под моим окном
Принакрылась снегом,
Точно серебром.
На пушистых ветках
Снежною каймой
Распустились кисти
Белой бахромой.
И стоит береза
В сонной тишине,
И горят снежинки
В золотом огне.
А заря, лениво
Обходя кругом,
Обсыпает ветки
Новым серебром.
[1913]
