ABSTRACT

Language is an important tool for communication. There are two kind of

communication, verbal and non verbal communication. Verbal communication means
spoken and written forms, and non verbal communications for example are gesture and
body language.
English is consisting of four skills that should be learned; they are listening,
speaking, reading and writing. In this research the writer is mainly focused on writing
skill.
Based on curriculum of junior high school which recommended by the
government, there are some texts which have to be mastered by the students at junior
high school. One of them is descriptive text.
There are many problems in writing text, like grammar problem, the organization
of the writing, the content of the text, vocabularies, and about spelling. To solve this
problem, it needs creativity of teachers to use the suitable technique in teaching writing
of descriptive text.
The writer would like to propose an alternative technique is “Clustering
Technique”. This technique will help the students to organize their ideas before they
develop in paragraph of descriptive text.
