Hi, ND. Actually the 4 tones what Benny and I talked are the same. Tone 1 is high and flat, tone 2 is a rising tone. About the tone 5 that appeared in my tip, I should explain that tone 5 is “toneless or no tone” (we usually call it). Why I call it tone 5 here is just for you to remember easily. Tone 5 is not so important as the other four tones, so just remember and practise the four tones first.
