Abstract
In fact, English is studied in almost all of the school levels in Indonesia
(from Elementary school to Senior High School). However, most of Indonesian
students need to master the English, especially writing. That is one of the reasons
why the researcher wants to know more deeply about it. The researcher wants to
know whether the students who like reading can master the writing descriptive
text as well as the students who do not like reading.
In this research, the population of the research is the eighth grade students
of SMP Negeri 8 Purworejo in the academic year of 2020/2021. The writer takes
32 students. The writer uses a purposive sampling technique because of the
limited time. In collecting the data, the writer uses questionnaire and writing test.
Then, in analyzing the data, the writer uses t-test.
From the result of the computation, it shows that the t-obtained (to) is
lower than t-table (tt) (2.13 < 3.14). It means that the alternative hypothesis that
there is a significant difference between the students who like reading and the
students who do not like reading on their writing ability in writing descriptive text
is rejected. Therefore, there is no significant difference about it. Finally, the
researcher concludes that there is no significant difference between the students
who like reading and the students who do not like reading on their writing ability
in writing descriptive text.
Then, the researcher thinks that the teacher must train the students more in
writing descriptive text. It is very important to prepare the students facing the
global era where there is a high competition among the graduation. It is hoped that
the students have to train their writing ability especially in writing descriptive text
intensively by doing some exercises given by the teacher or from book.
