Background of the study

Introduction

Writing is one of the few skills that an individual should cultivate. Writing is important

because it is used when you write down everything that people think, feel and aim for and dream

about. Even if they can't express what they want to say, they can do it by writing and making an

essay on their life.

The effective expression of one's own opinion and idea about the writing of the topic,

writing using one's own language is a skill that must be cultivated by the student. This is the

skill of writing that no one has the skill. Writing was the first thing we learn and the second

thing is to understand it. Lots of teens nowadays are struggling to make an essay even they were

given an essay one.

Introduction from the presented knowledge and thoughts that a writer has a level of

profiency in writing essays that can be shown from his skills in the Filipino subject, so this is a

reason why essay writing helps to develop critical thinking, language skills and analytical skills,

so this is what our main point we want to learn more about it as a researcher. Writing helps

develop students' ability to think logically and solve problems.
