Writing is an ability that involves conveying information in written form. The students feel difficult to write a text, including a descriptive text. The use of interesting strategies will increase students' enthusiasm and be useful for students to reduce their difficulties in learning to write a descriptive text. PWIM (Picture Word Inductive Model) is one of the strategies that can be used in writing descriptive text. Therefore, the students have their views about the strategy or learning variation they use. The objectives of this study were (a) to investigate how the tenth graders of SMK Negeri Nusawungu in the school year 2021/2022 perceive using PWIM to write a descriptive text, and (b) to investigate the advantages of using PWIM to write descriptive text for the tenth graders of SMK Negeri Nusawungu in the school year 2021/2022. The research method employed qualitative research. The subjects of this study were 36 tenth graders (X accounting 2) of SMK Negeri Nusawungu who joined learning to write descriptive text applying PWIM strategy. The writer used observation, a questionnaire, and an interview to collect the data. The results of this study indicated that students were interested in receiving the implementation of PWIM in writing descriptive text. The observation results showed that 65.3% of students in the first meeting and 74.5% of students in the second meeting attended the learning of writing descriptive text using PWIM well. It indicated that more than half of the students were active, listened to the teacher's explanation, wrote the important thing, participated in group discussions, asked the teacher about the difficult material, and did the tasks in both meetings to write descriptive text using PWIM. The questionnaire results showed that most students agreed and strongly agreed with positive statements regarding the use of PWIM related to interest, convenience, activeness, comfort, and self-confidence. 40.3% of students strongly agreed and 43.5% agreed with the positive statements.

It can be concluded that students felt more pleasant when using PWIM in writing descriptive text and got some advantages.
