writing. It was manageable class. Actually, the teacher said that the eighth graders had learnt narrative texts
in previous semester. The information from the teacher showed that the students were not good enough in writing a narrative text. However, there were also some
problems which were faced by the students in composing a narrative text. The main problem for some students was they have difficulty in developing their ideas
and also about how to compose a story in well-organized events. They might be confused of what should be written. It was difficult to find a main topic or idea
and develop it into a good composition. The students of the eighth grade still lack of vocabulary. Another problem was the use of past tense form. From this aspect,
the students mostly made mistakes in the grammar structure of past tense. They missed to change the present form of verbs into the past form. After analyzing the
problems, the researcher started the research which based on research procedures that I stated before.
