Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive study was to evaluate the students' descriptive writing skills. Thirty-five pupils from SMA Negeri 1 Pangkalan Kuras' XIC class served as the research samples. Using cluster sampling, it was completed. The writer employed writing tests to gather data. According to the study's findings, only six students (17.14%) achieved the "good" level, with no students achieving the "excellent" level. Next, 16 pupils (45.71%) were at the "poor" level, while 13 students (37.14%) had reached the "average" level. Grammar ranked highest among the five characteristics of writing, with content coming in second. The ability level was mediocre overall (50.71). Based on those findings, it was recommended that in order to help students improve their writing skills, they should practice more. Additionally, teachers should identify the best approach, method, technique, and strategy to use when instructing students in order to provide an effective teaching and learning process.
