Task 5 — Compare & Persuade
Your roommate is planning to buy lawn fertilizer for your shared backyard. You both want a healthy lawn, but there are different options to consider. Look at the two options below and persuade them to choose one over the other.
Choose the option you will argue for:
Eco-friendly, natural ingredients. Feeds lawn gradually for up to 3 months. Improves soil health long-term. Safe for pets and kids immediately after application. Higher upfront cost ($60 for 500 sq ft). Slower initial results (2-3 weeks).
Chemical-based, quick green-up (within days). Lower upfront cost ($35 for 500 sq ft). Needs reapplication every 4-6 weeks. Not safe for pets/kids immediately after application (wait 24-48 hours). Can potentially harm soil microbes over time.
