I need to practice my English writing. It is very important to me. Therefore, I've been reading short online articles about everything.

For Example, yesterday I was reading about a man, who stay on an island in the ocean. The story begins with a little boy. That boy dreamed that he had a ship to navigate in the ocean but his father didn't want his son to become a mariner because his other son was a militar and he died in the Second World War. Despite this the little boy want to become a mariner.


Please check my writing and correct my mistakes.
