  The result reveal that there is a significant positive correlation relationship between writing habit vocabulary mastery, and writing skill.The result of the computation shows that the correlation coefficients (R o ) between

  1 ) 2 ) simultaneously

  students’ writing habit (X , students’ vocabulary mastery (X and writing skill (Y) is 0.647,and consulted to the F value. it shows that The value

  o t(2.27)

  of F (10.4727) is higher than F for α = 0.05 is 3,35. It means that there is a

  1

  significant, positive correlation between student ) s’ writing habit (X , students’ vocabulary mastery(X

  2 ) simultaneously and writing skill (Y) of the tenth grade students of SMK N 1 Sawit in the academic year of 2016/2017.
