Abstract

This article is written to describe research about students' ability in writing text review, problems faced by students in writing text review and cause of the problem tersebut. Data of this research is the result of students’ writing and the result of interview with the students. The result of this descriptive research shows that students’ ability in writing reviews is good enough. Although the average grade of students is categorized sufficiently, students also faced problems in writing reviews text. Their problems relate to vocabulary, grammar, general structure, organizing ideas, and spelling and punctuation. The findings also show that the cause of the problem is the first language interference, the target language is so difficult, and the lack of knowledge of students about the components in writing text reviews.
