Abstract
This research aims to analyze the ability of tenth-grade students to read descriptive text at SMAN 4 Mukomuko. The researcher used a descriptive method in this research. The sample of this research was the students of class X IPA 1 and XI IPS 1 SMAN 4 Mukomuko. The researcher used a stratified cluster random sampling technique to select sample, and the total sample was 70 students. An instrument for data collection in this research was a reading test. To make the test reliable the researcher used the split-half method. The reliability index of the test was 0.86 (very high correlation). It means the test is reliable. Then the test is valid in terms of content because it covers the material that has been studied by students. The result of this research in general showed that the tenth-grade students' ability to read descriptive text at SMAN 4 Mukomuko was low. It was supported by the fact that 29 students (41%) had high ability, and 41 students (59%) had low ability in understanding descriptive text. The details are that 38 students (54%) had high ability, and 32 students (46%) had low ability in understanding identification. For understanding description, 11 students (16%) had high ability, and 59 students (84%) had low ability. For understanding simple present tense, 32 students (46%) had high ability, and 38 students (54%) had low ability. To understand adjectives, 33 students (47%) had high ability, and 37 students (53%) had low ability. For understanding nouns, 51 students (73%) had high ability, and 19 students (27%) had low ability. Based on the result of this research, it can be concluded that the tenth-grade students' ability to read descriptive text at SMAN 4 Mukomuko was low. The researcher suggests that teachers should give descriptive text exercises more often to students and motivate and guide them to understand the descriptive text. For the students, it is suggested to do more exercises in the descriptive text to improve their ability to understand descriptive text. For future researchers, it is suggested to find out the factors why students' ability to read descriptive text is low.
