It can be conclude that the students of MTsN Sijenjang faced some problems in the process of writing a text. They still have poor knowledge how to write a text in a good way and grammatically. Based on the observation in the classroom, the researcher assumed that the error made by the students was caused by the influence of Bahasa Indonesia. The student does not accustom to use English. They only used their mother tongue even when they learning English in the classroom. The suggestions are addressed to the teachers. For the teachers, considering the fact that the biggest number of errors comes from capital letters and verb tense category, the teachers should emphasize the concept of those. It is important for the teachers to ensure that the students really understand the use of verb tense rules, specifically in the use of past tense which is frequently used in narrative writing. For example, the teachers can give writing instructions of how to use to be, past form of regular and irregular verb correctly.
