拼音是帮助大家学习中文的重要工具，主要由声母、韵母和声调构成。声母位于音节前段，大多是辅音，发音轻短，像b、p、m、f 等。韵母则在音节后段，发音响亮，能单独构成音节，也可跟声母组合，像a、o、e、ai、ei、ao这些。而声调有四种，分别是阴平（第一声，ā）、阳平（第二声，á ）、上声（第三声，ǎ ）、去声（第四声，à ），它能改变字的读音和意思。

“b”发音提示:
发音时双唇紧闭，阻碍气流，然后突然放开声带不颤动。比如：收听广播b b b。

b-a—ba          bā：八       bá：拔       bǎ：把        bà：爸

b-o—bo          bō：波      bó：脖       bǒ：跛       bò：擘

b-i—bi            bī：逼        bí：鼻        bǐ：比         bì：闭

b-u—bu         bū：逋      bú：醭       bǔ：捕        bù：不
