Background of the study

Introduction

Writing is one of the few skills that an individual should cultivate. Writing is important

because it is used when you write down everything that people think, feel and aim for and dream

about. Even if they can't express what they want to say, they can do it by writing and making an

essay on their life.

The effective expression of one's own opinion and idea about the writing of the topic,

writing using one's own language is a skill that must be cultivated by the student. This is the skill

of writing that no one has the skill. Writing was the first thing we learn and the secomd thimg is

to understand it. Lots of teens nowadays are struggling to make an essay even they were given an

essay one.

Introduction from the presented knowledge and thoughts that a writer has a level of

profiency in writing essays that can be shown from his skills in the Filipino subject, so this is a

reason why essay writing helps to develop critical thinking, language skills and analytical skills,

so this is what our main point we want to learn more about it as a researcher. Writing helps

develop students' ability to think logically and solve problems.

traditional reading. It is fruitful. behaviorist theory that focuses more on the environment in the

development of reading comprehension. According to this theory, reading is recognizing a series

of written symbols to give their corresponding sound. This is the combination of bottom-up top-

down theory because the comprehension process has two directions (McCormick, 1998). By

using two methods (bottom-up top-down), interaction takes place between the text and the

reader. It is formed from the knowledge and ideas that the reader brings to the understanding of
the text. Therefore, there is an effective understanding of the text when a reader uses his

knowledge of language structure and vocabulary whilesing previous knowledge (schema) and
