INTRODUCTION
Language learners must understand four basic language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.The language learners all need to be combined into one.
People interact with others in their daily lives by communicating verbally and in writing.
The writing process is more complex to learn than other language skills.According to Zemach et al. l (2011), writing is a language that requires the correct structure so the reader can understand the message.In addition, Harmer (2007, p.31) also states that writing produces language and expresses thoughts, feelings, and opinions.It would be best if you focused on all aspects of your writing language skills to get good results.The reader follows a well-structured text that navigates the arguments or statements.On the contrary, the writing uttered expressions delivered by students of English learners still Tiktok, Descriptive Text, English Writing 053 occur far beyond the correct language structure and stand with mistakes in the writing production.
Language training is required for all language skills in English at the high school level, including writing skills.Writing helps students acquire not only other skills but also complete English.According to Celce-Murcia (2001, p.206), the main achievement of writing in a second language is the ability to do it with reasonable consistency and accuracy.Many native English speakers do not master this skill.Brown (2000) defines good writing as having content, composition, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanical considerations.The Writing meets specific criteria such as good content and design, correct grammar and mechanics, and proper speech.According to Gerot & Wignell (1994, p.208), descriptive text is all intended to describe a particular person, place, or thing.
Therefore, descriptive text is a text that explains or describes something, such as its shape, characteristics, or properties.The illustrative text functions in describing a particular person, place, or thing so the readers can understand the information.
However, not everyone finds it easy to write a descriptive text, and some people are still debating how to write well.When the writer did a practical in English class for first graders and asked them to write, they were uninterested because some said they disliked writing because it is boring.On the other hand, they have no idea what to write, so they were initially confused.As a result, they received a low grade.Because of the reasons above, the writer wants to make it exciting and easier by implementing the TikTok application as media in writing descriptive text.TikTok allows students to not only record videos and share them on social media, but they can also learn English, explicitly writing descriptive text, by using the feature.Last, the use of this media can assist students in understanding the learning material, mainly when writing descriptive text.
The researcher presents the previous studies related to this research to arrange this study.There have been three previous studies.First, a previous study was by Christopher & Swathi (2020) entitled Study to Analyze the Impact of TikTok App on Students Academics and Psychology.This study conducted five hypotheses to determine any significance between the two variables and their time spent on Tiktok and the student's academic performance.The first hypothesis of this study was formulated to test whether less time spent on TikTok will positively impact students' academic performance.
The second hypothesis was to try whether the more the student has privacy settings on Tiktok, Descriptive Text, English Writing

TikTok.The second previous study finds that the higher students' grade points will increase.Third, the hypothesis was framed to test whether regular updates on TikTok will reduce the students' class attendance.Fourth, the theory was formulated to test whether more time spent on TikTok will facilitate class participation in the class.Fifth, the hypothesis was framed to test the relationship, the more friends a student has on TikTok.
Second, the previous study was by Palupi et al. (2020)  In conclusion, this study differs from previous studies since The purpose of this survey is the result of a 10th-grade survey at SMK Yatpi Godong.The research questions of this study are to find out the benefits of using the Tik-Tok application in writing descriptive text.Then, this study was formulated to find out if the Tik-Tok application helps the student write descriptive text and the problems the students faced in writing descriptive text using the Tik-Tok application faces.In this case, researchers used a questionnaire that consisted of open-form questions to collect survey data.Moreover, the researcher uses Miles & Huberman's (2004) theory to analyze the data.

Researchers have adopted a qualitative description method using case studies from one test group to determine what and how the TikTok application will operate as a medium for writing descriptive text.In addition, in this study, researchers assigned one group and obtained data to obtain results.

Research Design
This study used qualitative research.Qualitative research is descriptive, and data is collected using words and photographs rather than numbers.(Miles, Huberman and Saldana, 2014) Defines that qualitative research is conducted with ongoing interactions with shareholders in a person's daily or personal life, a circle, community, and association.
The researcher is instrumental in discovering a general idea of holistic, systematic, Tiktok, Descriptive Text, English Writing 055 comprehensive, and interlarding regarding the background under the research, its social arrangements, how it works, and specs of the implicit rule.Then, the researchers will understand the data of responses from participants in-depth through their concentration of thought, understanding their empathy, and strengthening their preconceived notions of the research ideas.Many results of qualitative research are illustrated in words.They can also be rearranged to compare, distinguish, analyze and model them.Its central role is to show people's view of particular order, to calculate, to take a response, and instead set their daily conditions.
In addition, in this study, researchers assigned one group and obtained data to obtain results.According to Creswell ( 2013), conducting a case study consists of three steps: 1) Determine the data collection method.The researchers taught The descriptive text is taught to the students of the 10th grade class of SMK Yatpi Godong, 2) Dissemination of data collection tools, The researcher gathered the data by delivering the questionnaire to the students of SMK Yatpi Godong, and 3) Analysis of evidence of collected case studies where the researcher envisaged and created the conclusion of this research.

Based on research needs.

Data display
From the questionnaire and interviews, the researchers determined the impact of TikTok.This is the most crucial step as it is the result that researchers use to conclude.
After the identification process, researchers present the data in tables and graphs.

Drawing conclusion
No conclusions can be reached until all data has been collected.Data needs to be resolved before researchers can conclude.When writing conclusions, researchers use simple words and sentences.
