A. Background of the Research
English language is important for
students to learn currently, because it is the language of world which used as
a standard of international communication. As argued by Brown (2000:118) “English is not
frequently learned as a tool for understanding and teaching US or British
cultural values. Instead, English has become a tool for international
communication in transportation, commerce, bank, tourism, technology,
diplomacy, and scientific research”. All of English teachers suggested to the
students about the importance of English language, so the students should learn
it comprehensively. In learning English language, there are four skills. Those
are listening, speaking, reading, and writing skill. To learn language,
mastering those four skills is very necessary. Hopefully, all of the students
learn them to create a good communication with other.
Writing is one of the four language
skills that have to be achieved by someone who is learning English language.
Writing is an important part of studying English, because studying writing can
improve the student’s skill in manipulating their sentence construction. This
writing skill, of course, will not be???????????????????
