Those aspects are grammar, vocabulary and mechanic. They have to understand those criteria well in order to produce a good writing. In teaching and learning process of writing, the teachers have an important role. According to Brown (2001): "writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of putting ideas down on paper to transform thought into words and give them structure and coherent organization".
In writing, students must understand and know about vocabulary, grammar, sentence connection sentence structure, etc. Sometimes the students can speak English fluently but they can not understand in Writing or making article. But the real, most of Indonesian students could not learn English well, especially in Writing. It is usually showed when they write article,paper, or thesis in English. Many students make mistake when they write essay or article. Not all students have some abilities in pouring the ideas when they write essay or article, it is because they do not have interest in studying writing ability. This is also happened at The STKIP Nurul Huda exactly in the second semester of English educational program, they can write an essay or article, but many students got many problems, such as: they have many vocabularies but they could not pour it into a written text. Students less vocabularies so they can"t write, they do not know in grammar, and many students were not interested in writing.
Because writing activity was boring in their opinion, and they sometimes feel lazy to practice writing in English.
The writer did observation at The STKIP Nurul Huda OKU timur exactly in the second semester of English educational program . The writer found some problems why the students sometime lazy if they got writing lesson.

Formulation of the problem
Based on the limitation of the problem mentioned, the problem research is to know the analysis writing ability through descriptive Method.

The Objective of Study
Based on the problem above, the objective of this study is to find out whether descriptive methode can analyse writing ability in second semester c. For the students The result of this research is expected can help the students to increase their writing ability.

Definition of Writing
According to Coulmas (2003:1) there are three meanings of writing can be distinguished. First, writing is a system of recording language by means of visible or tactile marks. Visible or tactile marks mean the writer can see the product of their writing by using their eyes. Second, writing is an activity of putting the ideas. The ideas are very needed in writing. Good ideas can add knowledge or information for the reader. Third, the result of writings" activity is text. It means that writing is not only communicative skill but also productive skill that can produce a text such as descriptive text, procedure text, report text and narrative text. letters of complaint, advertisements or commercials, affiliate marketing pitches, cover letters, and newspaper opinion and editorial pieces. d. Narrative. A narrative tells a story. There will usually be characters and dialogue. Narrative writing's main purpose is to tell a story. The author will create different characters and tell you what happens to them (sometimes the author writes from the point of view of one of the characters-this is known as first person narration). Novels, short stories, novellas, poetry, and biographies can all fall in the narrative writing style. Simply, narrative writing answers the question: "What happened then?"

Descriptive Text
Descriptive text is a text which is intended to describe a particular person, place or thing. The schematic structure of Descriptive text is divided into two: Identification and Description. Besides schematic structure, descriptive text also has its own linguistic features. Linguistic features of descriptive text are: use specific participant, written in present tense, use linking verbs, use adjectives, use relational and material processes (Derewianka, 1990;Gerot & Wignell, 1994;Nafisah & Kurniawan, 2007; and also Emilia, 2010). In writing description, while, it is possible to take time and set down details that will show with appropriate, to describe picture looks for example, what picture, what about, how many pictures, ect, to discribe someone the person height, shape of head, color of hair, look of eyes, ect. In order to be particular and interesting. We have to notice details and could to describe it in interperance.

The Elements of Writing
Althought the writing process has been analyzed different way, most of teachers would may agree in recognize least of following five general components, they are: a. Developing Ideas. The topics that were given to the students were considered familiar to the students. However, in this research there were some students who unable to develop their ideas well. It might be because they did not understand how to develop the ideas. The students said that they had studied how to make a good descriptive writing text. However, in practice, they did not succeed in arrange a good descriptive text. according to Barnet and Stubbs (1990:105) "A good paragraph has unity (it makes one point, or it indicates where one unit of the topic begins and ends)". To have a paragraph unity a students have to support the ideas into the sentences.
b. Organizing ideas. Reep (2009:82) states that "a paragraph achieves coherence when the sentences proceed in a sequence that supports one point at a time. Transitional, or connecting, words and phrases facilitate coherence by showing the relationship between ideas and by creating a smooth flow of sentences". In organizing the ideas the students have to use two components of generic structure of writing descriptive, they are identification and description. It means that, in description component, the students have to describe parts, characteristics of the objects and qualities . Sometimes, the students cannot organize the paragraph well, it seems that they cannot develop the ideas of their writing well. Beside identification and description component, in organizing ideas the students also have to pay attention to the chronological order to their text. Chronological order is ordered by time; it uses to explain the process, for example where is drugs sell? The students can use: first, second, next, etc to explain about the future of the places. Chronological order also used to describe events period of time. In fact, only small numbers of the students used chronological order. The students confessed that these occurred because they did not write the outline before write the text and did not a list of ideas first. They directly wrote the ideas coming to their mind. So, it makes their texts did not organized well and many repetition of ideas presented. c. Grammar. Gerot and Wignell (1994) state that grammar is a theory of a language, of how language is put together and how it works. This element consists of the discussion of grammatical form and syntactic pattern. In measuring the writing ability, a teacher tests the sensitivity to the grammatical patterns appropriate to the writing genre. Grammatical features of describing The tense that is frequently used in descriptive text is present tense. The description is from factual point of view (e.g. looks, writes, cooks, etc.). d. Vocabulary. Writing vocabulary is all the words that can be employed in writing. Many written words did not commonly appear in speech, the writers generally use a limited set of words when communicating.
According, Hadfield (2008:45) divides vocabulary into two kinds of vocabulary, there were : 1) Productive (active) vocabulary is words that they are able to produce themselves.
2) Receptive vocabulary (passive) is words that they understand but may never produce. e. Mechanics. Mechanics is the use of the graphic conventions of the language. It refers to the appearance of words, to how they are spelled or arranged on paper. The example of mechanic is when writing the first word of a paragraph, it must be intended. The rules of mechanic try to make the writing seem consistent and clear. The convention may seem arbitrary. In fact, it was developed from thousand of experiences. The mechanic represents the economic and efficient way of writing. There is a discussion about punctuation in the mechanic. This subject is a little bit complicated. Some punctuation is cut-and dried, while the others fall into the area of usage or style. The purpose of taking punctuation in writing is making the text clearer and reading easier. There are four function of punctuation, those are: a) Classifying or enclosing (e.g. parentheses enclosing extraneous information). b) Separating (e.g. a period separating sentences). c) Impacting the meaning (e.g. a question mark making an otherwise declarative sentence interrogative) d) Connecting (e.g. a hyphen connecting a unit modifier). The function of punctuation mark is the basic rule governed and determined whether it is needed or not. The modern tendency is to punctuate the prevent misreading (open style) rather than to use all punctuation that is allowed by the grammatical structure (close style). Open style allows The role of author"s editor"s subjectivity is crucial to make a wellpunctuate text. The main function of punctuations is to help the readers comprehend the intention of the write In short, mechanic is the use of language convention in writing. The convention is the rule of language. Punctuation is also discussion in mechanic. From the above, it can be seen that the writing process, as commonly conceived, is highly sophisticated skill combining a number of diverse elements, only some of which are strictly linguistics. In sum up, there are some aspects that a teacher should consider when s/he analyzes the students" writing text. The aspects are content, form, grammar, style and mechanics. All the components cannot be separated each other to produce a good writing. write well.
Therefore, both punctuation and writing can not be sparate writing cannot be separated each other.
