小王，有个学生下个星期要来学中文。你给他安排一下班级吧。

What's his level?
我已经给他做过水平测试了。语法和阅读还不错。中级的语法，比如："把"，"虽然……但是......"这些都懂。200字左右的对话也可以看懂。

I already gave him a level test. His grammar and reading are pretty good. He knows intermediate grammar stuff like: “bǎ” , “suǐrán ... dānshì ...”, that kind of stuff. He also can read a 200 character dialogue.
那给他安排到中级班吧。
nà gěi tā ānpái dào zhōngjí bān ba 。
Then let's put him in the intermediate class.
