There were still some weaknesses using Picture Series in teaching writing. First, not all pictures in fact helped the students in writing especially in generating
ideas. Second, it needed much time to carry out teaching writing used picture series, and it was more helpful for giving the students ideas about what to write,
however, it was not easy to find such pictures.
