If I were the Prime Minister of my country ....
If I were the Prime Minister of my country, I would try to help as many people as possible.
I would work hard for homeless people and I would try to give everybody a place to live. Also I would like to give everybody a job. Work is the first thing that I would improve if I could, because if everybody had a job, they could have a house.
I would work with children too, better schools, free books, more places to play. Besides, old people (the elderly) are very important. I would try to build more comfortable buildings for them.
I think it is very difficult to be a good Prime Minister, I would try it anyway.
