Both of the groups were given pre-test at the beginning, the post test at the end of the treatment. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. From the culculation, the reseacher found that t-count was 2.07 and t-table was 2.01. For T-count of organization was 2.56, t-count of content was 3.62 and t-count of coherent was 3.47.
