Besides, Nida and Taber (1969:12) say that "translating consists of

reproducing in the receptor language and secondly in the term of the style the closest

natural equivalent of the source language message, first in the term of meaning".

By knowing the grammar, we do the application in the real situation. Since

he functions of grammar to make meaning clearly and we will understand the

materials we learn about. The teacher must, first explain the grammar items and

make sure that the students can understand them. As the basic element of the

language, the students are required to master the grammar needed. Based on the

background above, the researcher choose the title of the thesis: Analysis of

DATA ANALYSIS AND FINDING

4.1 Analysis of Data Collection

From the data gathered, a calculation was made to find whether there

are any significant different difficulties between English and Indonesian

grammar. Knowing the students' difficulties in translation, it is needed to

calculate the percentage of the students, response to the questions. The percentage

can be shown as following tables:

Table 4.1
Students' Answer of Present Continuous Tense
Question
Alternative Answer Frequency Percentage
Number
1. a. Correct 20 60
7. b. Error 10 30
c. No option 3 10
33 100

The table 4.1 showed us that there are more students not difficult in

translation about present continuous tense in the classroom. To make the students

actively in translation, the teacher has to give more exercises about variety

of tenses. The students' activity in doing exercises is very slow. It causes by lack

of vocabulary and contextual sentence.
