B. Suggestion
Based on the findings and discussion of the research, the researcher
proposes several suggestion as follows :
1. For Teachers
For teachers especially English teachers, are expected to provide
regular training to students in writing, especially in writing short stories.
This is because there were still students who are quite low in their ability to
write stories because they are rarely or even never done before. So this is
very necessary in the future, so that students are able to produce good
scientific writings and of course useful for many people.
2. For Students
The students are advised to be more aware that writing activities,
especially writing in English are very important. We can see firsthand how
people who have scientific writings in this era of globalization are very
useful and viewed, especially in the form of writing in English.
