They also observed and monitor all students‟ attitudes, their responses, and attention to learning activities. However, the result of this study needs to be further improved. Although there were students who have good writing skill but still need guidance to improve. There were even some students who show difficulties in writing recount text especially diary writing, most of them were lack vocabulary. Other weaknesses were the grammar and writing structure.
d. Reflection
Based on the results of data and observations in the first cycle of the learning process, the results of the reflection are obtained as follows:
1) Some students have difficulty in writing skills and lack of vocabulary mastery. Therefore they need more intensive guidance.
This condition is normal but the teacher has a desire to improve students‟ abilities and vocabulary mastery by providing motivation and support to all students.
2) The use of diary writing is expected to help students understand improving their writing abilities and it can build students‟ writing habit. Because basically everyone likes to share their experiences.
The teacher continued to use same equipment to help students understanding more about recount in learning activities. So, the result of the next cycle will increase as expected by the teacher.
Next, to know if there is an improvement in writing, the teacher analyzes the result. The result is calculated from the result of the test cycle 1. The calculation as follow:

2. Cycle 2
The learning process in cycle 2 is a revision of the results from previous cycle. Same with the cycle 1 that cycle 2 consist of planning, implementing of the acting, observing, and reflecting.
a. Planning
After doing all of the stages cycle 1, it can be seen that writing a diary had a positive effect on students‟ writing abilities. Although certain student scores did not meet the success criteria in cycle 1.
Then, there was an improvement to this plan which was important.
There is a lack of understanding of the use of tenses in students when writing, so researcher made improvements that are focused on increasing the use of tenses when students write. This means that there is not significant change between the plans from cycle 1 and cycle 2.
b. Implementation of Acting
In this section the researcher uses the same device in cycle 1 but, because it focuses more on the use of tenses, the researcher adds material about the simple past tense. An explanation of the material as follow:
Teacher : “Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb. Good morning class!”
Students : “Waalaikumsalam Wr. Wb. Good morning Miss”
Teacher : “How are you today?”
Students : “I am fine, thank you. How about you Mis?”
Teacher : “I am very well too, thank you. Before we start our lesson today, let‟s pray together.”
Students : “Bismillahirrohmaanirrohiim.”
Teacher : “Who is absen today?”
Students : “Nobody, Miss!”
Teacher : “Good! Well class apakah kalian masih ingat tentang materi minggu kemaren kita membahas apa? Raise your hand, please!”
Students : “Of course Miss, minggu kemaren kita membahas tentang text recount.”
Teacher : “Iya benar, so what is recount text?”
Students : “Recount text is tells about something happened in the past”
Students : “Text yang menceritakan suatu kejadian di masa lampau, Miss.”
Teacher ; ”Nice students, jadi sama halnya kita menulis diary, kalian boleh menulis suatu kejadian senang maupun susah yang akan di ceritakan atau istilahnya kalian curhat tentang kejadian itu dimana, kapan, dengan siapa, dan bagaimana peritiwa tersebut terjadi. So, ketika kalian menulis, ungkapkan saja semua yang ada in your brain, dengan
demikian kalian akan dengan mudah menulis karena tidak ada paksaan sedikit pun. Sampai sini paham students?”
Students : “Yes Miss, get it.”
Teacher : “So, how about the generic structure of recount text apa saja?”
Students : “Ada 3 Miss. There are orientation, event, and reorientation.”
Teacher : “Good job class. Nah, ketika menulis recount text itu kan suatu kejadian yang sudah terjadi, so you must use verb ke berapa?”
Students : “Verb ke 2 Miss, because terjadi di masa lampau.”
Teacher : “Benar students, but in your task yesterday, masih banyak yang tidak menggunakan verb 2. Apa kalian masih belum paham tentang penggunaan verb 2?”
Students : “Yes, Miss. Kita masih bingung bagaimana merubah verb 1 ke verb 2.”
Teacher : “Well students, sebenarnya kalian langsung saja hanya merubah verb nya itu sambal melihat kamus. Di kamus sudah lengkap terdapat verb 1, verb 2, verb 3, beserta artinya juga”
Students : “Tapi Miss saya kesulitan bagaimana meletakkan verb nya itu”
Teacher : “Ok class jika seperti itu, kita coba mengingat kembali materi tentang simple past tense, ada yang masih ingat?”
Students : “Masih Miss, simple past tense itu penggunaan tenses di masa lampau”
Teacher : “That‟s right, apabila kita menulis suatu kejadian yang telah terjadi maka kita menggunakan tense simple past tense. Yang mana memiliki rumus yaitu Subject + Verb 2 + Object. Nah dari sini sudah jelas bahwa setelah subject harus verb 2 baru di ikuti kata selanjutnya. Untuk kata keterangan waktunya harus menggunakan kata keterangan di masa lampau, seperti yesterday, two days ago, last week, etc. Contoh nya seperti ini, saya telah membeli buku baru di 53ook kemarin sore. (sambil mecatat di papan tulis) saya bahasa inggrisnya I, kalua membeli?”
Students : “Buy”
Teacher : “Ok students in this formula harus menggunakan verb 2, so bentuk ke 2 dari buy is bought, kalian bias melihatnya di kamus”
Students : “Oiya Miss ini saya lihat di kamus benar bought”
Teacher : “Nah iya jadi gitu cara melihat verb ke 2, do you get it students?”
Students : “Yes Miss.”
Teacher : “Well kita lanjut. Bahasa inggrisnya buku baru di 54ook kemarin sore?”
Students : “New book in the bookstore yesterday afternoon”
Teacher : “Nice students, you are so diligent. Dari sini apakah sudah faham penggunaan verb 2 itu bagaimana dan ketika apa?”
Students : “Faham Miss, a good explanation!”
Teacher : “Thank you student. Baik kalua sudah faham saya tutup pertemuan pada pagi hari ini, semoga ilmunya bermanfaat, dan saya mohon maaf apabila terdapat kesalahan, let‟s pray together students. Wassalamualaikum Wr. Wb. See you students”
Students : “Waalaikum salam Wr Wb. See you too Miss.”
