Abstract

ii ABSTRACT Writing is an activity to express thoughts and feelings in written form, so writing must take time and students need time to get ideas in order to express their thought in a written form. There are five differences of text type, namely narrative text, recount text, descriptive text, report text, and procedure text. However, when students read report text and descriptive text, they are usually still confused to choose whether it is report text or descriptive text. This paper is written to find out students’ difficulties to distinguish report text from descriptive text. The population of the research is 11th grade students of SMA Negeri 3 Cibinong- Bogor. The total number of the population is 40 students. To gain the data, the writer uses documentation, questionnaire, and interview. Based on the research result, she finds there are a lot of students who are still confused in writing report text and descriptive text. They describe a specific participant instead of general noun that makes no different between report text and descriptive text. Moreover, the students also difficult to choose vocabulary and diction when they write report and descriptive texts, they also lack of knowlegde about generic structure and language features of the texts, most of the students learn about the texts from the internet because the teacher does not give them more explanation. From the research finding, the writer suggests that the teacher should be more concerned in explaining language features of the texts and give more example of the texts, especially for the similar texts like report text and descriptive text. The writer also suggests that the students should read more genre text and language features of texts and do not hasitate to ask the teacher about grammar to get clearer explanation. Furthemore, they should practice more to write a text.
