I would like to know if my answers are right:
2.He thinks the cafe needs good people where they could exchange stories.
3.No, he doesn´t. He thinks that italian cafés are a lovely picture because of naturalness of the people.
4.He says that Portugal is more often to go to.
5.Because lunch costs 12,50 without wine when usually lunch costs 2,40. He sais It´s once-a-week trat, not part of daily life.
6. When he arrived in England in 1985, nobody ate outside, some pubs had gardens but they were enclosed.
Thank you
