27. What was the biggest punishment you’ve ever received?
- Once I had a quarrel with my mother and '' she threw something at me(.) I don’t remember 'what it was.' I ducked just in time! There 'were' many quarrel(s) but I just remember this situation.
The word "Quarrel" is almost never used in conversation. A more common word would be "fight" or "confrontation."
30. I think people who play guitar 'are' very cool.
26. 'I'm' so grateful and if I can, I would like to pay back even a fraction of it.
Everything else is great :)
