8. Work in groups. Find a photo and some information about a large house or palace in your country and compare it to Blenheim Palace. Think about the following: the size, what it looks like and how old it is, the number of rooms, the grounds and gardens. 9. Present your photo to the class and talk about the two places. Use the key phrases for comparing and contrasting, and speculating.

Эти задания требуют выполнения в группе и самостоятельного поиска информации, поэтому я не могу дать конкретный ответ. Однако, могу дать примерные фразы для сравнения и спекуляций, как указано в задании: **Сравнение и противопоставление (Comparing and contrasting):** * In this house/palace, there is a large garden, whereas in Blenheim there is a smaller lake. * You can see many trees in both photos. * Both houses/palaces have got many windows. **Спекуляция (Speculating):** * It looks as if the palace is very old. * I would say that this house is bigger than the other one. * Perhaps it/they were built in the same century.
