Abstract

The purpose of this research was to describe the eleventh-grade students' ability to write descriptive text at SMAN 7 Sarolangun. The researcher used the descriptive research method for this research. The population of this research was the eleventh-grade students' at SMAN 7 Sarolangun. The researcher used proportional random sampling to select the sample, and the number of samples was 32 students. The instrument for collecting the data in this research was a writing test. The researcher also used the inter-rater technique to determine the reliability of the test. The reliability coefficient of the test is 0.93. The result of this research in general showed that the eleventh-grade students' ability to write descriptive text at SMAN 7 Sarolangun was high. It was proved that 22 students (68.75%) had high ability in writing descriptive text. In detail, 25 students (78.1%) had the high ability in writing the content, 18 students (56.25%) had low ability in writing the identification, 24 students (75%) had high ability in writing the description, 18 students (56.25%) had high ability to use the language features, 23 students (71.9%) had high ability to use the appropriate vocabulary, and 26 students (81.25%) had low ability to use the correct mechanics. Based on the result of this research, it can be concluded that the eleventh-grade students' ability to write descriptive text at SMAN 7 Sarolangun was high. Since students' ability in writing content, description, language features, and vocabulary was high. The researcher suggests that teachers must give more exercise in two low aspects of students in writing identification and in using correct mechanics. Teachers are also advised to review and explain the descriptive text, especially for students with low ability to write descriptive text. For students who had high ability, the researcher suggests that they can maintain their ability to write descriptive text. Students with low abilities, are expected to learn more about descriptive text and should pay attention to the teacher's explanations to improve their abilities. The researcher suggests that future researchers find other problems with students’ difficulties in writing descriptive text and investigate how the difference can happen in writing descriptive text.
