concept, he or she may have positive perception too about what are in the outside.
From the theories above, it can be concluded that perception occurs because of the process. Perception occurs because of the stimuli and the
individual organizes the stimuli and it gets influence from the environment to have their own perception. Therefore, because individual gets different
stimuli and lives in different environment, they might have different perception.
2. Writing
Writing has purpose to communicate something to somebody by written form of language Wright, 2006. However, according to Tiedt
1989, p. 6 from all of the languages skills, writing is the most difficult and it is a hard work. This is because writing is a skill that requires
learners to produce a correct written language Brown, 2007, p. 391. Similarly, Harmer 2011, p. 52 states that writing is a complex skill which
requires some steps and takes more time. Writing is defined as a process of discovering, thinking, and
organizing the ideas and then putting them on the paper and then revising them Meyers, 2005. Written products are often the result of thinking,
drafting, and revising procedures that require specialized skills Brown, 2007, p. 395.

Brown 2007 also states that there are three stages of writing; a.
Pre-writing: in this stage, students obtain ideas by reading, clustering, questioning, and then making an outline
b. Drafting : in this stage, students compose sentences and
paragraphs within class hour then submit the work. Students then will receive feedback from the teacher before they have
their work back. c.
Revising : in the last stage, students rewrite the drafts and improve the writing according to the teacher‟s suggestion.
Therefore, from the theories above can be concluded that writing is not an easy task for students. Wrting can be harder for the students
because they write unfamiliar language. For XI graders, one of genres that they need to write is exposition
text. According to Anderson 1997, p. 122, exposition text is a text which presents one side of an issue. The purpose of this text is to persuade the
readers to agree with the writer by presenting one side of argument. Exposition text itself has two types which are analytical exposition and
hortatory exposition. According to Coffin 2001, analytical exposition is a text which is
used to put forward a point of a view or argument. This is supported by Wahidi 2009 who states that Analytical Exposition is a text which
elaborates the writer‟s ideas about the phenomenon surrounding. The
