Abstract
Description
During the current pandemic, some schools have to implement hybrid learning where some students come to school, and some have to go online. After the teacher distributed the learning materials, several students enrolled in online courses still could not comprehend how they differed from offline ones. The research used the qualitative method. The data was collected from 33 students in the 7b class and 10 selected students based on their descriptive English writting text. It is revealed that the students have achieved reasonable control in writting descriptive text. However, in terms of writting, some students make spelling mistake, and tenses still need more understanding. The result showed that the difficulties of descriptive writting are spelling, tenses, punctuation, sentence pattern, pronoun, conjunction, and preposition. They must consider scematic structures and use the appropriate language. Thus, their text will be well-organized and understandable.
