Short answer (corrected): An island is like a boat made of land. Water goes all around it.

Another simple way to say it: An island is a piece of land surrounded by water.

Why this is better (in easy words):

  1. "Land-boat" is not a usual word. Saying "boat made of land" or "piece of land surrounded by water" is clearer.
  2. Adding "it" at the end ("around it") sounds natural, but you can also say just "around" and people will understand.
  3. Both corrected sentences are short and easy to say out loud.

Try this game: Point to a picture of an island and say one of the corrected sentences. Which one do you like best?
