The Use of Student’s Personal Experiences to Increase Writing Narrative Text

A. Background of Study
Language is an essential aspect in human life, it is a means of communication that people use to ask for and give information. Communication is the key of the language and, without communication listening or reading can not be implemented. Dechant states that Reading takes place only when the child shares to convey (Dechant, 1982: 38). As we know that most knowledge which is taught in Indonesia is from book improving the Teaching of Reading it is the important source of learning. The statement shows that reading and writing activity is very important. Writing began at the time when man learned how to communicate his taught and feelings by means of visible signs. Gelb said that understand able not only for him self but also to all other person. (Gelb, 1951: 11)
Writing is one of the most difficult subjects (www. Indoskripsi.com). we know that the mastery of writing skill of the junior high school graduate is commonly not good. Although they have learned English for three years, but they still face some difficulties in writing, so when they continue their study to the higher level they cannot write well. (Sabarti, 1988: 1) states that students low with writing ability is caused by low level of their ability in elementary, junior high school. And in the other sentence she said that in facing writing assignment many students regard it as difficult subject. The assumption occurs because writing activity consumes abundant power, time and close attention.
Writing is not a natural skill because one cannot acquire this ability automatically and easily. This skill differs from other skills like speaking and listening in which the two other skills can be gained through natural process.
To acquire writing ability the students should get sufficient writing practices. These practices are supposed to stimulate the student’s skill in writing and expressing thoughts in a good passage. Without practice, it is impossible to write well and effectively.
Writing is really important for the students in the case that they should
Make a daily note from their teacher; make a research report, assignment from the teacher. It is also a means that demonstrate to the teacher that the students have acquired the information. Good writing is necessary for success in college. If they do not master writing skill, they will find difficulties to share their teacher or their friends in a written form.
Writing is a chance to communicate the thought in the most affective way possible just to carry out the written. (Warriner, 1977: 332).
