Because of the crucial function of ellipsis, students must understand the use of ellipsis from the classification. From the student writing report text above, there is an exaggerated word sharp in the first sentence. To make it more clear without using the word sharp twice, it should be omitted for "a cat has sharp nails and teeth" to get the correct spelling.
Focus of The Research
In general, after analyzing the results of students' writing performance above, they can be stated that there are several students of SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Metro who still find the difficulties of using ellipsis in report writing text. Therefore, the researcher proposes to briefly analyze the use of ellipsis in report writing text among eleventh grade in SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Metro.

THEORETICAL REVIEW
Prior Research
- The Understanding of Ellipsis a. The Nature of Ellipsis
Thus, it can be concluded that ellipsis is the process of making the omission of the sentence to clarify the meaning of the sentence. In this ellipsis, the clause whose object is omitted can be understood by understanding the previous clause. Ellipsis occurs in the text when an essential structural element is omitted from the phrase or sentence.”16.
Theoretical Framework
- The Concept of Report Writing a. The Definition of Report Writing
- Cohesion
- Coherence
At the same time, Priyono et.al state that the social purpose of information in the report text is to present information about something. Based on the definition above, a report text is a text that presents information about factual phenomena such as plants, animals, natural phenomena, and so on. Sharndama, "An Analysis Of Discourse Markers In Academic Report Writing: Pedagogical Implications", International Journal of Academic Research and Reflection, Vol.
To create a good report writing, it needs numerous supporting elements that cannot be separated from the writing content along with the report writing. Based on the above quotes, the writer argues that cohesion is an important aspect in writing. It shows that the reader should be able to understand what information the writer has in the text of the writing.
Finally, to make a good report, writing elements like consistency and coherence are needed. According to Naveed Rehman, an organization means a designed and structured process that creates the changes and developments for the achievement of the objectives.30 Here are some organizations that write reports based on Lehman's statements:31. A title states a topic to be discussed based on the data analyzed or observed by the writer.
Based on the explanation above, it can be deduced that a good report writing needs an understanding about the report writing organizations namely title, general classification and description.
The Implications To The Teaching Of Writing
In the dialogue, the speaker does not use long answers, so the sentence I was in Bali is omitted. It is clearly understood that the speaker does not want to mess with him.
Type and Characteristics of Study
Creswell argued that case study is the situation where the researcher examines in depth a phenomenon, a program, an event, an activity, a process, or one or more individuals. provide an accurate and complete description of the case. In accordance with Creswell's explanation, the researcher suggested a case study as a type of this study. Based on the explanation given above, the researcher conducted this research at Senior High School Muhammadiyah 2 Metro.
In this research, the researcher investigated the use of ellipsis in report writing text among the eleventh grade students of Muhammadiyah Senior High School 2 Metro. The representation will be shown using the informative and detailed data of the use of ellipsis in report writing.
Data Resource
In this study, when running the data source, the researcher divided it into primary and secondary data. It means that the student's first-hand data on the use of ellipsis in the report paragraph was obtained by the researcher as an object of this research. While collecting the data that already exists so that the researcher does not need to prepare a survey called secondary data such as English subject syllabus in Senior High School of Muhammadiyah 2 Metro.
Data Collecting Technique
In this term, the researcher observed the students' behavior, activities, condition and environment around the participants by taking field notes to know directly how the classroom process is. In addition, the students' data on the use of ellipsis in writing the report text among eleventh grade students of Muhammadiyah 2 Metro Senior High School had been obtained by the data collector soon.
Data Analysis Technique
In the first process, the researcher collected detailed data through field notes, transcriptions, typed notes from interviews, or optically scanned material to general participant codes and themes. Second, the researcher prepared the students' data on report writing performance using ellipses for analysis. Third, all text writing data of the students' reports using ellipsis were read to gain a deeper understanding of the participants' information.
Fourth, the researcher will encode and then label the data on the writing text of the student's report by using ellipsis descriptively. All sequential steps above can be performed simultaneously from collecting the data, preparing and reading the complete data to descriptively coding the data. In addition, the researcher can switch back and forth between data collection and analysis data to collect more representative data from the participants.
Approach
The researcher will read all the data and try to understand the ellipsis characteristics that are commonly used by students in the report text. Thus, the researcher took the codes from this overview to arrive at the next data. Codes were analyzed and labeled in detail based on the types of ellipses used.
Fifth, in this step, the researcher conveyed the description result about the students' ellipse through qualitative narrative. Sixth, this last step was the interpretation of the information from the data by presenting a list of students' ellipse knowledge in graph or diagram.36.
Description of Research Setting

General Description of Research Data
Based on the table above, it can be said that there are some ellipsis errors that are generally found in the report writing students. The total of using nominal ellpisis is 62 mistakes made by twenty. The total of the use of verbal ellpisis is 43 errors made by twenty students.
Based on the conversation above the SRN student, in the third sentence, the SRN answers yes, now I'm ready. So the sentence is clear and avoid repeating the word in the sentence. Orchids do not grow in soil but live on the ground, while others grow on trees or rocks.
From the writing above the word of the largest they are not appropriate in ellipsis, it. In this term from the text above before word in the first sentence of their father. Based on the data obtained above, it can be concluded that most students understood the definition of report writing and ellipsis theoretically.
To illustrate this point, the researcher found 133 errors of ellipsis obtained from fifteen students' writings and the highest type of error was in nominal ellipsis.
Discussion
To summarize in a nutshell, the researcher suggests that students read other references related to the ellipsis books, for example David Nunan's book titled, Halliday's book ”Cohesion in English”, which points out the types of ellipsis. The percentage of errors in using ellipsis in report writing in eleventh grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Metro. The kinds of errors in using ellipsis in report writing in eleventh grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Metro.
The diagram pie above indicates that there are several errors in using ellispsis in writing reports created by the students. The errors were 21% of clausal ellipse, 32% of verbal ellipsis, and the large percentage of using ellipsis in student report writing of the SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Metro was 47% of nominal ellipsis. Hence, due to the error data made by the eleventh grade students above, it can be assumed that the students are expected to increase their knowledge about the types of use of ellipsis in report writing to avoid errors in writing .
Conclusion
Suggestion
Meanwhile, the students who are good at writing, especially in the use of ellipsis in report text, are expected to maintain their understanding. The teacher should provide a clear elaboration on report writing and the use of each type of ellipsis deep in the teaching process to reduce students' unfamiliarity with the use of ellipsis in report writing.
