The result of this study found that the students had the organization of paragraph, grammatical and mechanics problems in writing a paragraph. The most typical difficulty was the organization of paragraph problems in writing concluding sentences (90,3%). Secondly, grammatical problem in using adjective (77,4%), article (64,5%), and verb (58,1%). Third, mechanics problem in punctuation (38,7%). Lastly, based on the interview, these problems arise from the students' used Google Translate more often in finishing their writing. They translated their paragraph in Bahasa Indonesia into English directly without paying attention to the aspects of writing a paragraph. It made them difficult in choosing the appropriate words. For the next study, it was suggested to further investigate another aspect of grammatical (preposition, transition word, and conjunctions) and mechanics of writing such as content and organization. It implies that writing skills should be included in course design to enhance student’s ability in writing.
