HELP!! Phonology

I am taking an online TESL course and in one of the exercises I have to define "phonology" in terms of TESL. I dont know what else to write apart from the "it is the way words are pronounced e.g. bin and pin, bear and bare"
thanks

Phonology is the study of the sound system of a language. It includes the study of phonemes, which are the minimal contrastive sounds in the language.
