Writing is one of important English skills that must be mastered by

However, students of junior high school acquire and learn many kinds of text in the writing class. Specifically for seventh graders, the kind of text that they learn is Descriptive text. Meanwhile, students were still confused about the appropriate words and the generic structure of Descriptive text that they used. Besides, they were also struggle with the grammar of Descriptive text, such as the use of Simple Present tense. They also faced the difficulties in the process of writing to make a piece of Descriptive paragraph. They had to generate and organize the ideas in order to be able to describe something or someone clearly. Yet, they still faced confusion on how to start their writing and develop ideas.
