Countrylife vs. Citylife

Nowadays many people, who are living in a country, want to have more action and entertainment, so they went to a city. But on the opposite there are also many people in a city, who want a life with more silence and more natural environment. In other words- they want to live on the countryside.
City versus country…which is the best place to live?

There are many good aspects for living on the countryside. Firstly the good, clean and fresh air. In contrast to the city has the country no pollution and therefore also no exhaust fumes. So when you live in a country than you also live near the nature. Trees, fields and flowers would be a normal part in your daily lifetime. You also can go walking without seeing cars or anything like that. In most case you can live in a house with an own garden, so you have enough place to create your “own little paradise”. Living in a country means living in silence and in balance with the nature.

Now these arguments about the life in a country sounds nearly perfect…but for many people it’s definitive the wrong place to live. They want no silence and no nature…they want fun and action, nightlife and entertainment. So when you want all these things, then you must go to the city, because it differs a lot form a life in a country. In the city there are many, many shops and restaurants, bars and clubs. The selection of all this is much bigger than in a country. Therefore I understand people who want to live in a city because of the “boring” live in a country.

Now to conclude I think that every human has his own choice, if he wants to live in a country, near the nature, or in a city with full of action and entertainment.

structure /grammar: the country - das Land; a country = ein Land (z. B. Österreich); the best place to live in; your own garden (possessive pronoun + 'own'); these arguments sound ... (no 's');

expression: life / live; 'auf der anderen Seite" = on the other side; "im Gegenteil" = on the contrary; "more natural environment" C?; in the countryside; "In contrast to the city has the country no pollution and therefore also no exhaust fumes." (wo, exp - It's the other way round: no exhaust fumes and therefore ...); "or anything like that" (g, exp);

grammar: Be careful about the tense you use!!!

"I think that every human has his own choice, if he wants to live in a country, near the nature, or in a city with full of action and entertainment" --> Is that really true?

You were asked to present your own opinion too, but you never really do that.

The structure is basically correct, but there are lot of vocabulary problems. This text often sounds as if you translated it word by word from German.
