Welcome to another Tuesday! What's so special about Tuesday, you ask? Okay, we know that for many people, Tuesday is a day without much personality. But there's really no reason why Tuesday can't be special, is there? Let's try to make it so!

Here's your (special?) Tuesday WordMaster!


A grade is a letter, word (for example, "outstanding", "satisfactory", "pass", "fail"), or other symbol that rates a student's performance on schoolwork, on an exam, or in a course. One of the most common systems is to use the letters A (the highest grade), B, C, D, and F. 

To say that a student "gets good grades" means that he usually does well on his schoolwork, exams, etc.

* Also see the 7 August 2001 WordMaster, "SCORE (n)".

grade は、試験やその他の勉強の出来具合を文字や言葉― outstanding(優)、satisfactory(良)、pass(可)、fail(不可)など―または、シンボルなどで表したもの、つまり成績のことです。アルファベットで、A、B、C、D、F(Aが1番良い)と表す方法がよく使われます。

get good grades は、いつも良い成績をとっているという意味です。
