student in a specific school grade
A student who is in a certain school grade, usually in the U.S. (for example, a third grader is in third grade).
用法模式：
a [number]th grader
常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *"a grade three student"* when using American English, where *"a third grader"* is more natural. Also, *grader* in this sense is almost always used with a number or level (e.g., *first grader*, *tenth grader*), not alone. In British English, people usually say *Year 3 pupil* or *student in Year 3*, not *third grader*.

person who marks student work
A person who reads tests or papers and gives a score or grade to them.
用法模式：
[someone] is the grader for [test/work]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes think *grader* always means a school child because of phrases like *"fifth grader"*. In education contexts, *grader* can also be the person who scores exams. Context (who is doing the work vs. who is scoring it) helps distinguish the meanings.
近义词
marker (Used mainly in British and academic contexts; focuses on the act of marking scripts, not on classroom teaching.)

examiner (More formal; often someone who designs or officially oversees exams as well as marking them.)

road construction vehicle with blade
A big machine with a long blade that makes the ground or road flat and smooth.
用法模式：
a grader levels [a surface/road]
常见错误：
Learners may confuse a *grader* with other construction machines like a *bulldozer* or *excavator*. A grader is recognized by its long central blade and is mainly used for leveling, not for heavy pushing or deep digging.
近义词
road grader (A more specific term that clearly shows the machine is used for road work.)
反义词
excavator (An excavator mainly digs and removes earth, while a grader mainly levels and smooths surfaces.)

machine/person sorting items by grade
A person or a machine that separates things, like fruit or wood, into groups by size or quality.
用法模式：
a grader sorts [items] by [size/quality]
常见错误：
Because *grade* often relates to school, learners may not realize that *grader* can also refer to machines and workers that sort products by quality. Context with products like fruit, eggs, or wood signals this industrial meaning.
近义词
sorter (A more general word for something that separates items into groups; it does not always suggest an official quality grade.)
|
classifier (More formal and technical; used especially in industrial and scientific contexts.)
反义词
mixer (A machine or person that combines different items together, doing the opposite of separating them by grade.)
