Writing is one of four language skill;
it communicates ideas by means of conversational symbol that are traced,
incites, draw or otherwise formed on the surface or some materials. Writing
gives permanence to men’s knowledge and enables them to communicate over great
distance. This is excellence of writing compared to speaking because people may
save message through writing longer than speaking. As one of language skill in
English, writing is used to express ideas. In writing, the writer will be
involved in the process of building the larger units of ideas from the larger

Writing
is one of
important skills that
students need to
develop. The ability to write is
very important for the academic context, business and personal relation
in the global
community (Weigle 2002: 1). In
the academic context, this ability is used to measure the students‟
writing proficiency such as
composing academic easy
or writing some
texts which are included in the curriculum. In the business context, the
ability to write is
important for those
who make business
relation with other across the nation by sending email or
composing business report. writing a letter or message is also a means of
communication which can connect the relationship between people indirectly.
Harmer (2007: 7) Writing and
speaking are productive
skills. It means
that writers and speakers
go through producing
a language. Writing is more
difficult than speaking as
writing communicating into
space. In face
to face communication there is
little time to think and produce it. However, the product of
writing is not
as instant as
speaking. Writing does
not only put the idea into a
paper but how written text can be understandable by paying attention
to some aspects
to create a
good written text.
Writing involves complex thinking
that must integrate
all of the
components such as the
topic or theme,
word choices, organization,
purpose, audience, clarity, sequence,
cohesion, and transcription.
Graham and Perin (2007: 3) explain
that writing well is not just an option for young people-it is a
necessity. Writing skill is predictor of
academic success and a basic requirement for participation in civic life in the
global economy, while Writing is not a simple language skill to perform because
of it is large areas that must be involved. In producing a piece of writing,
linguistic competence and extra linguistic competence are always involved. The
fact is that writing is not only a means of expression, but it is also an
essential criterion of competence in any field. This means that to write is to
seek expression or to have something to say through the application of
linguistic system.
