Key words: Writing ability, Descriptive text, Picture of Tourism Brochures Realizing how important the English language is, our government includes English in curriculum as a compulsory subject for student in our country. It is taught from elementary school as an optional subject, junior high school and university level as a compulsory subject, it aims to make students understand the types of texts or genres. In the syllabus of the eighth grade students of junior high school, there is descriptive text as the material. In the fact, the writer found many eighth grade students of SMP 1 Mejobo Kudus have less understanding and capability in writing descriptive text. They are not interested to follow the class because the English teacher do not use interesting media and do the monotonous way to teach. Therefore, the writer uses picture of tourism brochures as the media to help the students’ ability in writing descriptive text, so the students did not face difficulties in writing descriptive text. The objective of the research is to find out whether or not there is a significant difference between the writing ability of descriptive text of the eighth grade students of SMP 1 Mejobo Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using Picture of Tourism Brochures. The design of this research is pre-experimental research. The population of this research is all of the eighth grade students of SMP 1 Mejobo Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014. The writer takes one class as the sample by using cluster random sampling. The writer got VIII D, consist of 30 students. The research instrument used by the writer is written test. The writing ability of descriptive text of the eighth grade students of SMP 1 Mejobo Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 before being taught by using picture of tourism brochures is sufficient. The result of the test shows that the mean is 57.63 and standard deviation is 11.67. Meanwhile, the writing ability of descriptive text of the eighth grade students of SMP 1 Mejobo Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 after being taught by using picture of tourism brochures is good. It showed from the result of the test that mean is 74.46 and standard deviation is 8.25. It is easy to understand from the mean of pre-test and post-test that there is significant different. The mean of post-test is higher than the mean score of pre-test. But, we have to examine the result of the scores by using t-test and t-table. Then, the result is t-test (to = 6.52 > t-table = 2.05). So, there is a significant difference between the writing ability of descriptive text of the eighth grade students of SMP 1 Mejobo Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using picture of tourism brochures. Based on the result above, this proves that picture of tourism brochures as media can help the writing ability of descriptive text of the eighth grade students of SMP 1 Mejobo Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014. So, the English teacher hopefully uses it as one of teaching media in teaching English especially in writing descriptive text.
