Answer

From: Marita Bland

To: Paco Mendoza

Subject: re: social life in Lisbon


Dear Paco,

You asked about the social life in Lisbon. Lisbon is a very exciting, lively city, but it is quite expensive, so as a student here, you'll need to budget carefully. There are ways that you can save some money. The college student centre offers free films and parties, and discount prices at the bar. Also, the local cinema and theatre offer student discounts, and entry to the art gallery is free. However, some sports facilities are expensive. The cheapest is probably the swimming pool. Also, restaurants are usually expensive here, but don't worry, my mum's a good cook!

We look forward to welcoming you here. Don't hesitate to write again if you have any more questions.

Best wishes,

Marita
