Writing , according to Gaith (2004),  is a complicated  process in which the writer shifts all thoughts, ideas, and attitudes to be visible and concrete. This indicates that the process of writing is a translation of what is cognitive to composed form of letters, words, and phrases. Writing is not simply a way for students to demonstrate what they know. According to the National Commission on Writing NCW in America’s Schools and Colleges (2003, p. 13), It is "a way to help them understand what they know, at its best, writing is learning”. In this view, to write is to communicate and interact.
