world. It means that language is humans tool to communicate to each other and their way to
express or say the idea and thingking. In Indonesia, English teaching aims at mastering four
basic skill of language, which include listening, speaking, reading, and writing skill.
Writing is one activity that the students do in almost of their assignment. Through writing

long process. It is started from pre writing up to editing and it involves some kinds of writing
skills or abilities. Many adult of native speakers of certain language say that writing is difficult.
It is based on standard from grammar, syntax, structure and vocabulary. (Masjamiah, 2000:25)
Writing represents what we think, it means that the writing process reflects things in
mind. Students find it difficult when they start looking for some reasons to write and produce
sentences. The students have no experience with writing, Students were confused about which
words to choose to make a good paragraph.

develops narrative text writing material to make the students interest to study English. The writer
developed narrative text writing material appropriate to students’ need which makes the students

confuse what should they write.
 In writing, students need to know the way of how to write well so that they can produce a
good compotion. If students have no good ideas, they will get bored and uninterested in writing
something. The truth is that there are many students that still have low ability at writing. This can
