1. When Mark Twain turned to the local official at Salaman-
ca railway station, the latter was very polite to him and
said he was ready to do anything for the writer and his
companion.
2. Neither the conductor nor the porter took any notice of
Mark Twain while he was talking to his companion.
3. The conductor at last gave Mark Twa poor little cor-
ner in a sleeper which was already packed.
4. The porter wouldn't do anything for Mark Twain, and
the great writer had to do everything himself.
5. When Mark Twain asked the porter, "Who am I?" the
young man answered that he had recognized the great
writer the moment he set his eyes on him, and since he was
fond of his books, he had asked the conductor to make him
comfortable.

F I were the President, I would like to change a lot of things in

my country. I would like to do people's life better. I would like to get homes for the people who

don't have homes or give money to people to buy homes. I would build plants and factories to

give people work. I would help to create more jobs and help to improve our economy I would

build a lot of hospitals in my country. Health care service would be free in my country. I would

strengthen our educational system. I would build new schools, new gyms, and cinemas in my

country. I would like to make my country very beautiful. Every person must be happy in my

country. He must have a well paid job, his home, family, and children. He must be healthy and

educated. So If I were the president I would like to do everything to make all people happy in my

country. I know it is difficult but I would do my best
