        abstract = {This research was held at SMKN 20 Jakarta. The objective of the study is to find the empirical evidence of the most common types and sources of error that the eleventh grade students of SMKN 20 Jakarta made in their descriptive writing in the 2017/2018 academic year. The samples of this study were 21 students of XI PB class. The writer used error analysis and descriptive analysis as methods of research. He found that the top three typical errors that the students made were punctuation with 44 or 22.3\% errors, word choice with 25 or 12.7\% errors, and add a word with 21 or 10.7\% errors. The down three typical errors that the students
made were meaning not clear with 3 or 1.5\% errors, verb tense with 2 or 1\% errors, and article with 1 or 0.5\% errors. Meanwhile, the highest source of the students'
error was intralingua errors with 187 or 89.1\% errors and the lowest source of the students' error was interlanguage errors with 7 or 10.9\% errors. It can be concluded that the teacher needs to give more explanation about the terms of punctuation, word choice, and add a word to the students. It is proven that the top three types of error are punctuation, word choice, and add a word. Moreover, the benefits of the research result are to give the information about the types and sources of error that the eleventh grade students of SMKN 20 Jakarta made and to give appropriate remedial teaching in order to reduce the students' errors in punctuation, word choice, and add a word.},
