Well, thank you all for your replys and for oppinions regarding my question.
As I promised - I said I will answer what was the actuall reason why I was asking this question in the first place.
Well - I am trying my best to help a girl regarding her English langage exams.
And the BEST we can do regarding her tests is to get her a B.
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
That is the BEST, but on last one - she got a C.
C??
And when she told me she god a C - I started to doubt myself and wrote this question here
I can't understand the School and their rating system:
There was 40 questions on that test,
I solved 36 of them correctly, made (only) 4 errors and -- because od those 4 errors she got a C???
Really?
So on on the one hand we have the school - where in order to get an A someone must be a Hemingway-kind-of-a-speaking-person and anything less than that is for B or even a C grade by our School grading system
I don't get it

Really I dont
If someone can understand English language (in listening or in reading) and futhermore can also speak and write on English language without (merely perfect) grammer then that person should deserve A grade in school
I can't possibly know the meaning of the phrase, for example "His victory came once in a blue moon" - not without the Google Translate services or something like that because I in my life newer ever have heard it:
I can understand the words in that sentence but can't understand the meaning of that phrase and if not - then she can't have an A grade
Seems like it isn't fair
