Several factors cause students to not be able to write personal letters, namely: 1) students still find it difficult to put ideas into letters, 2) the writing of words and content is still not fully expressed, because students are not yet able to optimally put together words. one word with another or one sentence with another sentence, 3) incorrect use of spelling and punctuation.
