Trinity College Dublin: 400 years of history

Warming-up:

You know there are a lot of places where you can get your education. You can visit state schools or private ones, modern or old ones but I think it is more amazing to go to a school with a long history.

Look at the map and say where Dublin is situated? The capital of which country is it?

Look at the picture of Trinity College. Translate its name into Russian. Describe the picture. Is this college old or modern one? Are there many students? How many buildings are there in this University?
