INTRODUCTION

- Objective of the study
- Significance of the study
- Scope of the study
Bridges and Lunsford (1984: 7) said: "Writing is the stage in which I produce a rough draft of the paper". The important thing about writing for the students is to express their feelings and produce their own language on the paper. There are some purposes of writing that many experts have explained, according to Ur (1991) "The purpose of writing, in principle, is the expression of ideas, conveying a message to the reader. Diestch (2003) states that "The general purpose of writing can be primarily to inform, to persuade, to express and to entertain.
For example “In the afternoon everyone can enjoy watching the sunset at Losari Beach” The correct sentence should be “In the afternoon everyone can enjoy watching the sunset at Losari Beach”. The correct sentence should be "Muhammadiyah University Makassar alumni usually get jobs easily". For example "As the number of students increases from new students". the correct sentence should be “As the number of students increases from new students”.
Another example "The second floor, there is the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Agriculture" should be "The second floor, there is the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Agriculture". The correct sentence should be "Unismuh is one of the favorite colleges in Makassar city".
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Some Pertinent Ideas
- Concept of writing
- Concept of Sentence
Then, Hogue (2008:10) himself gives a clear explanation for the definition of sentence, he defines a sentence is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. In addition, Frank points out that a clause can also be defined in the same way as a sentence. In addition, Frank states that simple sentences are sentences that have only one complete predicate in the form of an independent clause.
In the following simple sentences, the subjects are written in bold and the verbs are written in italics. Frank argues that a compound sentence is a sentence that has two or more complete predicates in independent clause form. According to Frank, a complex sentence is a sentence which also has two or more complete predicates.
It means that a compound sentence is a compound sentence that is combined with a complex into one sentence form. Many students get to the collage by car, while others prefer to use public transport, as there is free parking in If students wish to park in campus parking lots, they must pay for a permit or campus police will tag their cars.
The object is the person or thing that is affected by the action described in the verb. Errors can be distinguished from errors in that errors are systematic in nature, being "competency errors" that occur in the continuum of. For example, the classroom with the teacher and his materials in the case of school learning or the social situation in the case of untutored second language learning.
This type of taxonomy specifies errors in terms of linguistic categories and in relation to where the error is located in the overall system of the target language. Misformation errors are characterized by the use of the wrong form of the morpheme or structure. The selection of one member of a class of forms to represent others in the class is a common feature of all stages of second language acquisition.
Error Analysis
- Descriptive Text
Gass and Selinker (2008) state that much of the work on error analysis was done within the confines of the classroom. What is the error (eg wrong order of tenses, wrong verb form, singular verb form with plural subject). Based on the nature and frequency of an error type, educational intervention is carried out.
This means that every person through writing will be able to convey information, ideas and messages to others. There are some types of writing text taught in English education in Indonesia; one of them is descriptive text. Descriptive writing is the clear description of people, places, things or events using appropriate details.
The details used are usually sensory and chosen to describe what the writer sees, hears, smells, touches and tastes. It is related to Oshima and Hogue (2007:61) that descriptive writing appeals to the senses by telling how something looks, feels, smells, tastes and sounds. Descriptive text should be vivid and detailed because something being described is special and the writer should be able to take the reader into his experience.
Further, Oshima and Hogue argue that a good description is a word picture; the reader can imagine an object, place or person in their mind.
