My mom loves her garden. Anytime I did something to make her angry，I had to work in her garden. When I told her I failed my English exam，my punishment was to build her a pond（池塘）.It took me a week of work to dig it out，shape it，fill it and then plant everything around it. Then she told me that she really hated the 30-year-old tree in the garden and if my grades didn't improve I'd remove it.

My mom made me write letters on what I did wrong from when I was little up into high school. I hated writing them. She kept all of them, so now they're great for a laugh.

Once I made my mom very angry. When I got home from school, my bedroom was empty. She took everything out. I had to do chores and get everything back bit by bit. I started with my quilt and clothes, so I could sleep and go to school the next day. It took me nearly two weeks to get everything back. After that, I tried very hard not to get on her bad side too much.

I have an elder brother. One day I did something wrong, so my mom took away my favorite soft toy and put my elder brother in control of it for two weeks. I felt so sad.
