In learning writing, the students of Senior High School were taught the material about genre. This learning happened at MAN 2 Semarang which was also learned genre especially descriptive text. Based on the pre observation, the students still had low motivation in writing descriptive text. They stil did not write descriptive text based on the generic structures and linguistic features. So, the researchers analyzed their descriptive text to know why they still write the text unstructured. II. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM What kinds of genre analysis are found in students‟ descriptive writing at the tenth D grade students of MAN 2 Semarang? III. LITERATURE REVIEW Writing is one of English skills that should be taught in every level. Hyland (2007: 152) also describes that writing is complex structures that is learned by the grammar improvement. According to Hyland‟s statement, writing can also consolidate other language aspects learning to vocabulary or grammar.  Furthermore, writing is used to deliver ideas, thought, and feeling to other people in written form so the other people can understand what the writer‟s goal. It means that writing has purpose to deliver message as a communication device through written form.                                                  5 Dosen S1 Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Bahasa dan Budaya Asing, Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang  44  Hyland (2007: 4) defines genre is a group of texts that is used to represent the meaning of the situation that has been caught by the writer. It means that genre is related to the purpose and the meaning of the text. Gerot (1995) and Macken (1990) cited in Hartono (2005: 5) states there are two kinds of genres they are story and factual genre. The story genre consists of narrative, recount, exemplum, anecdote, news story/items, and spoof whereas the factual genre consists of procedure, description, explanation, report, exposition, discussion, review, and commentary. By using genre, the students will be clear in writing text especially descriptive text. They will know the social function, generic structure, and language feature of descriptive text. According to Gerot (1995) and Macken (1990) as cited in Hartono (2005: 6) descriptive text has purpose to describe a particular person, place or thing. Through descriptive text, the students can describe someone, their favorite place or thing. Meanwhile, the students sometimes got difficulty in writing descriptive text with the correct genre. They know the social function of descriptive text theoretically but they do not know the generic structure clearly. Based on the statement above, the teacher should ask the students to try their own writing of descriptive text although the students sometimes got the difficulty to make a good text of it.  IV. RESEARCH METHOD  In this research, the researcher used descriptive qualitative research. The researcher described the genre analysis of students‟ writing descriptive texts of the tenth grade students of MAN 2 Semarang.   The sampling was used purposive sampling because the second researcher only taught at the tenth D of MAN 2 Semarang. The participants of this study were all students of tenth D in MAN 2 Semarang. It consisted of 36 students who were 26 females and 10 males.   The instruments were the students‟ descriptive text. The researcher analyzed the data through identifying the generic structures and language features of text.  V. RESULT AND DISCUSSION The research result analysis was done to describe the genre analysis of students‟ descriptive text. They were generic structures and language features.  Based on the research finding, the data result was shown as follow:  Table 1.

It meant there were 27 students who applied the right identification. Meanwhile, the total percentage of the students‟ description was 100%. It showed all students could apply the right description. From the table above, the researcher could give conclusion that the students got difficulty in giving introduction of their descriptive text because their worksheet showed that they started their writing with description part first. Whereas, the students had to write the identification first before they wrote description.   Table 2.

All students understood how to use simple present tense, being verb, and adjective in their writing, although some of them still did not understand for applying being verb and noun phrase in their descriptive text. It could be caused that they did not know the appropriate being verb and noun phrase. The best result was supported by the teacher‟s way and the situation in classroom when the teaching and learning process of descriptive text was done successfully.      47  VI. CONCLUSION  The students at the tenth grade students of MAN 2 Semarang had known the social function of descriptive text and almost all students also could apply the appropriate generic structure and language features of descriptive text. Moreover, The result of the analysis showed that the students knew the purpose of descriptive text to describe about someone, place, or something. The result also showed that the generic structure of the students were almost perfect in description part but only 27 students who applied the appropriate identification of descriptive text. On the other hand, the language features of students showed all students could apply the specific participant, simple present tense, and adjective to construct descriptive text correctly. Meanwhile there was one student who did not understand how to apply being verb and noun phrase.
