Writing helps the writers improve their ability on how to transfer and deliver information in effective ways (Miller, 2006). In addition, McWhorter (2010) states that writing skill may lead us to success in academic fields demanding you to write assignments, reports, and essays, and career expecting you to write plenty of letters, email messages, memos, and reports. Writing also helps us learn and remember things because while taking information visually by reading or aurally by listening, writing engages our sense of touch when we put our pen to paper or our fingers on a keyboard. Generally, the more senses we involve in learning, the easier learning occurs and the more we remember about the task later on. We can remember something more easily if we write it down. Besides, it helps the writers think more clearly because when writers write, they involve their cognitive to process information, gather ideas, and transfer it through the paper. Writing also trains the writers to solve problem in some cases. Owing to the significant role of mastering English, the Indonesia government puts English as a compulsory subject from junior high to senior high school levels. Based on the English Syllabus of 2013 Curriculum published by Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Kemendikbud) it is stated that the objective of English language teaching aims to developing students’ language competence in spoken and written in order to be able to use it in several daily context. (Kemendikbud, 2017). Generally, English competence for secondary school is divided into three communicative competence aspects, namely interpersonal, transactional, and functional in spoken and written from. Meanwhile, English language teaching in junior high school aims to develop students’ communicative competence in interpersonal, transactional, and functional discourse through different kinds of text in spoken and written form.Furthermore, the objectives of English language teaching in senior high schools are clarified into core competence and basic competences divided in each grade. One of the basic competence in the 2013 English curriculum, point 4.8.2; eleventh grade students should be able to construct an explanation text about current issues by considering the social function and the generic structure of it (Kemendikbud, 2017). English language teaching in Indonesia focuses on text types as the basis to enable the students to apply English in any type of text. (Kemendikbud, 2017). Genre or text types cannot be excluded from English language teaching, especially teaching writing. As it is pronounced by English Syllabus of 2013 Curriculum in Kemendikbud (2017), text should be learned as media for the students to communicate their ideas or interact with others as social educated community. Quality of text is seen through the appropriateness of the text structure, language features and the social function of the text itself.
