This research uses a descriptive case study In terms of selecting Participant, there are 5 students in the first semester of English Department Universitas Majalengka who are involved in this research. Researchers conducted tests to assess students' ability in writing descriptive texts. As a result, two out of five students achieved good grades, which on average passed the minimum competency criteria (KKM) of 75. Most of the students had a lack of vocabulary, as evidenced by the vocabulary scores that got the lowest score from the other criteria. So students need a lot of practice both at home and in courses.
