The good ideas will create in writting when the student can get a good influence and inspiration. By using cooperative learning methode, the teacher can compare the improvement that student get, than writting as individually The explanation above as the reason why the reseacher took this topic in her research. Because this topic is interesting to be discussed. And the researcher will get the benefit in this study and also for another teacher.
