Through / by with 通过

Structure 通过 + means，+ result

通过 (tōngguò) introduces the MEANS or method by which something is achieved: "through, by means of". 通过努力，他实现了梦想 = "through hard work, he achieved his dream". It opens the clause. (As a verb, 通过 also means "to pass": 通过考试.)

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
