The population of this study was 11th grade students of Vocational High School in Methodist 2 Palembang, with the total number of 85 students. Meanwhile, the samples were 30 students taken from each of the three classes using simple random sampling techniques. Students’ writing and interviews were used to collect data. Data were analysed by the Miles model, which consists of data reduction, display and conclusion steps. From the results of the data that have been taken, there are many students whose scores are below 80, which mean there are still many students who have difficulty writing.
