Summary
English is very important in daily life. As an international language, it plays an important role in communication which many people are involved in. There are four skills that have to be mastered They are speaking, writing, reading and listening. Listening and reading are receptive skills, because student just receive and understand language without producing it. These skills are known as passive skills. On the other hand, speaking and writing are productive skills because students are producing a language. They are known as active skills (Irvy, 2020). The teacher usually only asks the students to write as much as possible without knowing how to make the students do the instruction. This fact motivated the researchers to focus on encouraging the students to write recount text or to tell stories of their past experience in the written form (Anwar et al, 2020)
