Task 5 — Compare & Persuade
Your partner is planning to upgrade your home and is currently choosing between asphalt and interlocking pavers for your new driveway. Look at the two options below and persuade them to choose one over the other.
Choose the option you will argue for:
Smooth, uniform appearance. Quick installation (1-2 days). Lower upfront cost ($5-8 per sq ft). Good flexibility in cold weather. Requires resealing every 2-5 years. Lifespan: 15-20 years. Less aesthetic customization.
Variety of colours and patterns. Longer installation (3-7 days). Higher upfront cost ($10-20 per sq ft). Excellent durability and easy individual repair. Susceptible to weeds between joints. Lifespan: 25-50 years. Requires professional installation.
