The objective of this research is to the analysis of students‟ ability writing skills in personal letters with think pair share model eleventh graders of SMKN 3 Payakumbuh. Researchers used a descriptive research design with the research population being students of class XI Busana Busana 4 at SMKN 3 Payakumbuh. Researchers used a cluster random sampling technique to select samples, and the sample size was 32 students. The data collection instrument in the research was in the form of writing a personal letter using the think pair share model. The results of the analysis showed that the test was reliable, This is supported by a correlation coefficient of 0.94 which proves that the test is valid because it covers the material studied in the syllabus (Appendix 1). In general, students have high abilities in writing personal letters (personal letter writing structure, application of grammar, and use of vocabulary). This is supported by the student's score of 95 which is a high score and 71.75 which is the lowest score in writing a personal letter. In detail, 20 students (0.625%) have high ability to write generic structure of personal letters, 12 students (0.375%) have low ability to write generic structure of personal letters, 28 students (0.875%) have high ability to use grammar in writing personal letters, 4 students (0.125%) have low ability in applying grammar in writing personal letters, and 32 students (100%) have very high ability in applying vocabulary in writing personal letters. Considering that the students have quite a good ability in writing personal letters with the think pair share model, the researcher gives some suggestions to English teachers, students, and future researchers. English teachers are suggested to explain more about how to organize a personal letters, express the content, apply correct grammar, and apply correct mechanics in writing personal letters. The students should study more about a personal letters, pay attention when the teacher explains the material, and do more exercises to improve their ability in writing.
