Hottest Travel Destinations

Sometimes figuring out the best place to go can be difficult. Here are some hottest travel destinations that

offer some of the most beautiful, artistic, and fashionable places on the globe.

Ibiza, Spain

While Ibiza is knownas a party city, there is far more to do in this historic town than simply drink and dance

under the stars. Built mainly in the second century, it’s a world heritage site with architecture dating back to as

early as the 7th century. Don’t miss Charo Ruiz, Ibiza’s most famous fashion brand. Plus, the Ibiza Fashion Festival

takes place every June.

Tangier, Morocco

Known as the “door to Africa”, Tangier has a rich and complex history dating back thirty centuries. It has all

the beauty of the natural world. After spending a morning sunbathing by the Mediterranean Sea, get in some

amazing shopping and discover great deals on everything. Before you head home, stop off in Marakesh to visit

some of the top Moroccan designers.

Havana, Cuba

Stepping onto the streets of Havana feels like stepping back in time. For a day of sightseeing, check out the

remaining architecture of Old Havana, which was built ten centuries ago. You can easily do it with one of the area’s

many walking tours. Or visit the Museum of Rum for a taste of the island’s most popular wine. You might come

across a clothing shop offering some classic finds!

Melbourne Australia

Built largely during the 1850s gold rush, Melbourne remains as alive as ever. Make sure to check out the

hottest Australian brands. Moreover, visit the Block Arcade in Collins Street to see some of the 19th century

architectural details the world has to offer. And, if you want to catch the largest consumer fashion festival in the

B

It's the near future.Animal populations have fallen sharply and 80% of species are extinct.The forests are so

rare that you need to make a booking to visit one. Birds also face extinction.The Arctic terns,a species evolved to

fly across the world on4000kmannual journeys，are on their last migration (迁徙) to Antarctica.

The Last Migrationby the Sydney-based writer Charlotte McConaghy is a different sort of climate novel，one

in which the heroine's(女主人公)damaged soul is as much a story as the damaged environment

This is McConaghy's first work of literary fiction,after a history publishing in science fiction and a romantic

fantasy series.

"I wanted to try and engage with the climate crisis closely,"she said."It's hard to nail down where he book

came from.But I had Toni Morrison's words in my head:'If there's a book you really want to read,but i hasn't been

written yet,then you must write it.'I love that. It really speaks to me.""

I wanted to write about the way the natural world is disappearing but I didn't know a way in."The way in”, she

says, was to"go travelling.I went to Ireland and Iceland,and thought about these incredible journeys of the terns

and these people who study hes journeys."

The book became a story of a double journey: the migration of the birds,and a broken woman's travelling to

the end of the earth.

Much of the book is told in flashbacks, the action jumping between the south coast of New South Wales to

the west coast of Ireland and to Greenland.

"I've always been fascinated with Ireland: the landscape, the people and the poetry and music.I was

fascinated with writing a character from there. It was a way to connect more with the place."

McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was"of two places"."I had lived in 21 houses by the

time I was 21, as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling

as if you are between two worlds." 4. How isThe Last Migrationdifferent from other climate novels?

A. It forecasts environmental destruction.

B. It features a bird's cross-continental migration.

C It combines science fiction well with romantic fantasy.

D. It attaches equal importance to the heroine's broken soul.

5. What did McConaghy think of Toni Morrison's words?
