Coming to school is a conventional way of learning.  Dressing in a suit and tie is a conventional way of dressing for work.  Going to a university is a conventional way of getting a higher education. 

Conventional = the normal way of doing something. 

Unconventional = not the normal way of doing something

Cooperate = to work together with someone in a good way

Diverse = many types of people or things

*Philly is a very diverse city.  ELS is a diverse school.  The menu at the restaurant is quite diverse. 

Profits = if you make more money than you spend

*This month, our company spent $5,000, and we earned $20,000 in revenue.  So, the profit was $15,000.  

*Questions for discussion:

1. What is a conventional way of learning a language?  What is unconventional?

2. What is the best way to cooperate with people?

3. What places are diverse?

4. How can your business make a profit?
