M: I love reading books about modern art. So you also want to visit McGill University, right?
W: Yes. (6) Since my cousin graduated from there, I have heard her mention it a hundred times. I’d like to pay a visit in person.
M: And I know McGill University owns a beautiful campus.
W: (7) My cousin told me that in 2012, Travel &Leisure rated McGill’s campus as one of the 17 most beautiful university campuses in the world.
M: That sounds worth visiting. What about Expo 67? The name does ring a bell.
W: How about Habitat 67, or simply Habitat? Do you remember now?
M: Yes. I remember that it is a model community and housing complex in Montreal.
W: (8) And it was designed by a famous Canadian architect, Moshe Safdie. It was originally conceived as his master’s thesis in architecture at McGill University and then built as a pavilion for Expo 67, the World’s Fair held from April to October 1967. Habitat 67 is widely considered an architectural landmark and one of the most recognizable and significant buildings in both Montreal and Canada.
M: So what was the designer’s intention? W: The development was designed to integrate the benefits of suburban homes, namely gardens, fresh air, privacy, and multi-leveled environments, with the economics and density of a modern urban apartment building. It was believed to illustrate the new lifestyle people would live in increasingly crowded cities around the world.
M: How about its theme?
W: (9) The theme of Expo 67 was "Man and His World". Habitat 67 then became a thematic pavilion visited by thousands of visitors who came from around the world, and during the expo also served as the temporary residence of the many dignitaries visiting Montreal.
M: I get it. But honey, where will we stay when traveling in Quebec?
W: I prefer to stay in Chateau Mont.
M: Any particular reasons?
W: (10-1) Well, the hotel is famous for its amenities such as an indoor and outdoor pool, an 18-hole golf course.
M: That is fantastic!
W: (10-2) Besides, we can enjoy local cuisine there. The hotel has a lot of top chefs in Quebec who can cook food with both French and Canadian flavor. (10-3) And it is said in the brochure that the hotel was founded in 1930.
M: Wow. It indeed has a history of about 100 years!
W: (104) It is also said that it hosted many political figures, royalty and other celebrities.
M: How about its surroundings?
W: The setting for the hotel is 46,300 hectares of forested wildlife sanctuary and 12 lakes on the shore of a local River.
M: Sounds like paradise !
W: I know. I can’t wait. It’s going to be so fun.
