 Children at Play<br>
-Children at play is a common sign seen in American cities urging motorists to slow down. The signs are seen around areas where children frequent, such as playgrounds and schools. They are almost always characterized by the words "Children At Play". They sometimes have a speed limit and/or a picture of a child running posted on them.<br>

-Sometimes neighborhood residents post impromptu signs after a child is struck by a vehicle. "Children at Play" signs are inappropriate for public streets since they convey the suggestion that playing on the street is acceptable behavior, which it is not. Additionally, the installation of this sign may lead parents and children to believe they have an added degree of protection which these sign do not provide.

		+	===Like===
		+
		+	A esta altura já sabemos que a palavra '''like''', quando é um verbo, significa gostar. Hoje, veremos um outro uso incrivelmente útil desta palavra.
		+
		+	Veja alguns exemplos:
		+
		+	{{Example\|
		+	*He speaks like a native speaker.
		+	**Ele fala como um nativo.
		+	*She looks like a supermodel.
		+	**Ela parece uma supermodelo.
		+	*You sound like your mother.
		+	**Você soa como a sua mãe.
		+	}}
		+
		+
		+	===As===
		+
		+	The structure of the sentence is usually: AS + SUBJECT + VERB.
		+	Nobody sings as she does.
		+	They went to the party as they were.
		+	It is very common in American English to use LIKE instead of AS. However, it is generally considered informal to use it in this way.
		+	We play football like champions do.
		+	Another use of AS is to say what the role/function of a person/thing is.
		+	He started work as a carpenter.
		+	She used the tapestry as a decoration in her living room.
		+
		+	===Like vs. As===
		+
		+	Be careful, in similar sentences that use LIKE and AS, the meanings of each sentence are very different. For example:
		+	As your boss, I must warn you to be careful. (I am your boss.)
		+	Like your boss, I must warn you to be careful. (I am not your boss, but he/she and I have similar attitudes.)
