city or country
Last week we talked about two kinds of life and that’s why I want to write about these two different ways of life. First I want to tell you about the city life and then about the country life.
An advantage of the city life is the public means of transport. So I can reach every locality very quickly. Another good aspect is that there are more people than in a country and so I can get know more acquaintances and friends. I have more possibilities of shopping centres, supermarkets and fitness or sport centres. The last positive aspect of of the city life is that there are a lot of different discos, bars and a lot of free time activities. But don’t forget the negative points for example the plenty traffic and the waiting time of the traffic lights. The consequences of that are the air-and- environmental pollution.
In contrast to the city life there is still the country life. There live less people and everybody knows each other and so people have a better relationship to each other and they are more helpful. Another good spot is that they live in a calm area and that there is less traffic and the air is very pure and that’s why people gladly like being in nature. A further aspect is that nature lovers can go camping, make holidays or can make a walking tour. Although, it’s very boring for teenagers because on the country there are’nt very much possibilities to go out with friends or visiting a disco.
I’d prefer living in a big city because I’m a teenager who wants to experience all alternatives a city can offer. For example the good nightlife. You also get the chance to find a better job. So you have a better view for your future. That’s why people prefer living in a city than in a country.

Article: to talk about city life / country life (no article --> generic meaning), in the country (not 'a'),
You don't introduce the paragraphs properly. (!!!)
expression: public transport - öffentlicher Verkehr, get to know (but you want to use 'meet'), a wider variety of (eine größere Auswahl von), there's plenty of traffic, 'still' = immer noch, 'spot' = ein Ort, in the country (auf dem Land), although (obwohl) / also (auch), to experience all a city has to offer, a better outlook / more opportunties for your future, to prefer something to another thing
incorrect sentence structures (!!!): "there are more people ...[where?] .... than in [the] country"
little (less) / few (fewer): little milk (uncountable!), few people [countable] - 'less people' is heard, but strictly speaking it's not correct;
There's some good to your paragraphs when you start presenting your arguments, but the overall structure is wrong. The introduction and the end is ok.
