A study showed that the ability to write is not an option but a necessity, or obligation for everyone (Alliance, 2006); writing helps learners to develop ideas or thoughts (Watson, 2001) . Writing is an art in teaching and learning, which can teach you how to study in a right way. In other words it is a duty of an educator to guide students, so that they can learn and study better by training them in writing (Scott, 2008) .  \nWriting is not as simple as it seems. To get ideas in writing, students should read a lot before they write. However, there are many students who have low motivation level in reading and if there is no passion for reading it will be difficult for students to develop mechanism of writing: to plan paragraph, to edit errors, to organize ideas, and so forth (Bacha, 2010) . Gupta (2010) added that students should not feel unmotivated when they are not able to produce good writing. Writing in the classroom is an important academic requirement, but writing outside of the classroom can be a useful tool to improve writing skills. To become a good writer, students  \nshould practice continuously, namely, by buying a small notebook and try to write their daily activities. It will make student interested in page by page (Chanderasegaran, 2002) .

Daily Journal writing helps students to create a better day from day to day, because that would give freedom to the students to write about what they want (Hamp & Heasley, 2006) . It helps students develop their creativity (Spaventa, 2000) . The fact that students are given more opportunities to write about something which is relevant to them, called\"active learning method\" (Chickering & Gamson, 1987) . By writing journal, students can record their personal activities. The value of a personal writing has been discussed by several scholars such as Artof (1992) quoted in Tin (2000) It is a great tool to showcase one’s untapped creative power, learn to see the world more clearly, heal unsolved issues, understand our fears, and explore his motivation. Therefore keeping a journal is an enjoyable activity because the primary purpose of writing a journal is to motivate students to be immersed in writing, without involving a lot of errors and time pressure (White & Arndt, 1991) . Writing journal gives students an excellent opportunity to improve their writing ability, skill and a good opportunity to record their thoughts and feelings (Ngoh, 2002) .
