Hi,

I am writing a short text and English is not my native language. Please, check my text for mistakes, thanks:

“By 1919, thanks to the end of hostilities and after the death of his maternal grandmother, the Borges family went to Spain. In the beginning, they installed in Barcelona, and then in Palma de Mallorca. In this last city, Borges wrote two unpublished books: The Red Rhythms, praise poems for the Russian Revolution, and The Cards of the Coward, a tales book. In Madrid and Sevilla, participated from the Ultraist Literary Movement, which he later would head in Argentina and which later would influence in his first novel. He collaborated with poems and literary critique in magazines like Greece, Cervantes, and more. His first poem, Hymn to the sea, written in the Walt Whitman’s style, was published in the magazine Greece, on December 31, 1919.”

    In 1919, thanks to the end of hostilities and after the death of his maternal grandmother, Borges and his family went to Spain. At first they lived in Barcelona, and then in Palma de Mallorca. In this last city, Borges wrote two unpublished books: The Red Rhythms; Praise Poems for the Russian Revolution, and The Cards of the Coward, a book of short stories.

    In Madrid and Seville, he participated in the Ultraist Literary Movement, which he would later head in Argentina and which would also influence his first novel. He contributed poems and literary critiques to magazines such as Greece, Cervantes, and others. His first poem, Hymn to the Sea, written in the style of Walt Whitman, was published in the magazine Greece, on December 31, 1919.

His first poem, Hymn to the Sea, written in Walt Whitman’s style………..
    Hope this helps, but it looks pretty good to me without anyone’s help. Obviously, I haven’t written down the whole paragraph, just a few dots to fill in for missing words.
