The kid is mimicking the snorting of cocaine. He seems to have some knowledge of the technique, making me wonder if he has had actual experience. It has nothing to do with this, but it reminds me of something (when we were kids) we used to say to one another; "up your nose with a rubber hose".

The park has 5 new animals and wants the public to come and meet them.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Your task:</span></span><br /><br />Create a <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-weight: bold;">brochure </span></span>inviting people to come and meet the new Animals in the Park<br />Your brochure must include<br /><ul><li>The name of your park. (E.g. African Odyssey, Namibian Safari Park)<br /></li></ul><ul><li>A sentence that clearly shows the purpose of the brochure ( to attract visitors).Be creative. For example: <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);font-family:georgia;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">You have new friends .

Try to use the auxiliary "can" in at east one of the facts.<br /></li></ul><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Step 1. Get information about animals . You can explore the following sites :</span><br /><ol><li><a href="http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/Animals/CreatureFeature">National Geograhic for kids</a></li><li><a href="http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schooladventures/planetocean/">Discoveryschool</a></li><li><a href="http://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/a-mammal.html"> San Diego Zoo</a> Don´t miss the video clips.</li><li><a href="http://www.amnh.org/ology/marinebiology/creaturefeature/index.html">Ology</a> at the American museum of National History</li></ol> <br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Step 2.

What interesting facts about them can you include?<br />Select 3 or 4 facts. For example:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9jv0jeEYns-OQqnFxd3UQJ1IOrtY-pPPF2PPhCEK1AoUx9Ry2WGGRLzFftYX3C69hpVgWWj4N2_k4djmqv3Se0Oo1Uk8LdXKJAyd0YctkMj79Zuo6TpsGnN7z-fXQC2Yeh0sPMs_twIKb/s1600-h/ele.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9jv0jeEYns-OQqnFxd3UQJ1IOrtY-pPPF2PPhCEK1AoUx9Ry2WGGRLzFftYX3C69hpVgWWj4N2_k4djmqv3Se0Oo1Uk8LdXKJAyd0YctkMj79Zuo6TpsGnN7z-fXQC2Yeh0sPMs_twIKb/s320/ele.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161424587708395074" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" >Extraordinary animal!</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); text-align: center;font-family:trebuchet ms;"> <span style="font-size:85%;"><b><span style="font-size:130%;">"Lucy" is our new elephant.
