A. Backround
can be expressed through written products which need specialized skills. The
students’ English learning process. However, the teaching learning English in the
schools does not give adequate proportion of writing skills. Writing skills are less
taken into consideration in the teaching process than the other skills. For example,
teachers often ask students to read certain texts and answer the following question
instead of asking them to produce a text. It makes the students feel that writing
skills seem not very important. In writing skill there are writing, sentence and
that represents language and emotion with signs and symbols, according to
words that are grammatically linked. In writing we need to pay attention because
in writing there are many things that we have to understand like grammar,
vocabulary, tenses, and much more. In teaching writing there are many ways like
teaching writing through picture, song, short story and last vocation story.
Using vocation story as a media to teach writing is one of good idea because
students can write a story by their true vocation so the student will be easy to
write and Using last vocation story in teaching writing is one way to be used to
improve writing by asking students to write their vocation and accidentaly the
student study about vocabulary, grammar, tenses and much more. Sometimes
student makes and error in writing like punctuation, grammatical errors, word

This inability made them write the forms of word incorrectly. Further, the
students who did not recognize the form of words failed to express the right tense,
case, or gender.
Another fact, which shows the students’ low writing skills, was that the
composition they made was not coherently correct. It could be seen when they put
jumbled sentences in wrong orders. The students still could not distinguish
whether the sentence was the main idea of a text or the supporting details. The
inability to create the distinction of the sentences made them fail to write the text
coherently. Thus, other people who read their compositions, especially the
teacher, could not follow the development of the ideas from the text.
