CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Writing is
expression of the writer’s idea by producing graphic symbols to form words,
words to sentences, sentence to paragraphs on the paper, so the reader can
follow what the writer means. ( Kroma and Byrne in Baya, 2006:13)
The ideas in
symbol form as what Kroma and Byrne says above, may come from the writer’s
felling or may come from the prior knowledge of the writer, such as; the result
of reading book or magazine, watching TV, or even come from a discussion and
seminar. The symbols can be expressed such on a paper in order that it can be
consumed by someone or public. Of course that writing has a special
contribution whether for the reader or the writer itself. Martin in Axelrod
said that writing has a special contribution to the way of people think. When
we write, we compose meaning. We put
together facts and ideas and make something new, whether in a letter home, in a
college essay, or in a memo to the boss. When we write, we create a complex web
of meaning in which sentences have different relationships to each other. (Axelrod
and Cooper, 1985:2)
He continued
that writing also contributes uniquely to the way we learn. When we take notes
during lectures or as we read, writing enables us to store new information in
memory. Talking notes permits us later to review far tests or to find
information for an essay.
Although
writing has a great contribution, however it is not easy to make a good or
appropriate writing. According to Heaton, in making a good and appropriate
writing in English, it needs many abilities. Besides language use ability (the
ability to write correct and appropriate sentences) and mechanical ability (the
ability to use correctly punctuation and spelling), conceptual and judgmental
ability are also needed (J.B. Heaton, 1991:135).???????
