So, they need a medium that can help them in writing. Those problems can be solved by using an appropriate medium.

The average pre-test score was 62,29. The post-test score was 85,14. The 2-tailed significance level is 0,00 lower than the 0,05 significance level. Ha is accepted, while Ho is rejected. It can be concluded that writing descriptive text with a single picture is effective.
