,


INTRODUCTION
In the context of English, there are four skills to learn, namely speaking, reading, writing, and listening. Reading is one of the important skills. Reading called the important skill because it can help the students understand the text. In reading process, students should master at reading in order to prove the performance in English. Students also need to have good reading for acquiring knowledge and learning new information. If the students' reading ability is low, students will fail in study and will have difficulty to improve the progress. In other words, if the students' reading ability is high, students will have a better chance to improve the progress in study.
Moreover, reading is about looking through the text for details. Reading skill is about understanding of what has been read in the text. Learning to read is not easy because reading require a high level of reading skill. For example, if the reader cannot get the point, the reader also cannot find the main idea in the text.
Nurteteng Syaid (2018: 192) states that people want to obtain information about a specific subject in the text, people definitely have to read that text. Variety of texts that people read are signs, timetables, directories, maps, letters, tables, application forms, stories, text books, instructional, leaflets.
According to Fusthaathul Rizkoh (2014:3) Reading means an activity of reader to understand about passage or written text. In simple definition, reading can be defined as a process that requires comprehension to understand written text by mixing and classifying words into simple information or ideas that make the reader easier to gain the meaning of the text.
Moreover, reading means an activity of readers to get the message or information. In English learning process at the classroom, teachers usually use texts or books as a media to convey material of a subject to students. It means that students need to read a text or book to get the material of the subject.
Greselia Kaganang (2019:45) says that Reading can be one of the language skills that have big impact as the language input which is certainly important in the process of learning and improving language skills especially in English learning process. To support the students intend have good skill in extracting and absorbing information, the students must be having a good learning and practicing in reading.
Furthermore, on reading activity in English class many students find the difficulties in reading text. The difficulties that students faced when reading text are in finding, identifying, implied the main idea in the text and the factors which might caused the students difficult to finding, identifying, implied the main idea in the text are lack of understand the long sentences, lack of reading techniques, and lack of concentration when reading. So, it makes the students get the low score when answering the question, to minimize this problem the teacher should be patient to the students when teaching in order to know the students' ability and give the appropriate strategies for students . This also occurred on students at the tenth graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro. The students at the tenth graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro have difficulties in finding the main idea in the text.
In this case, the researcher conducted a pre-survey on April, 29 th 2021at SMK Darul A'mal Metro. The researcher did the interview with the English teacher about the students' ability in reading skill. The researcher did the answer from the English teacher that the students at SMK Darul A'mal Metro are difficult to find the main idea in reading text.
In this research, the researcher chooses the tenth graders of Computer and Network Engineering in e class of SMK Darul A'mal Metro to observe. It consists of twenty one students. The researcher got the data of the tenth graders students of Computer and Network Engineering in e class at SMK Darul A'mal Metro. From the score above, the students' ability in reading skill are low because of the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) at the tenth graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro is seventy four. It can be found that eleven students complete the test and ten students are in complete.
Based on the statement, the researcher regards that students' difficulties should be analyzed. This research, designed to obtain an empirical description of the students' difficulties in reading text in English learning particularly. As a result, the researcher would like to conduct the research with the title "An Analysis of Students' Difficulties on Reading Text in Finding Main Idea at the Tenth Graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro

These are the difficulties that faced by students when finding the main idea: Lack of long paragraph On the report of interview, it can be known that three students are difficult to find the main idea because of the long paragraph in reading text. So, the first factor that faced by three of ten students of the tenth graders of computer and network engineering in e class at SMK Darul A'mal Metro is lack of long paragraph.

Poor of reading strategy
As stated on interview, it can be seen that four of ten students are difficult to find the main idea because of the students do not know reading strategy in finding main idea. So, the second factor that faced by four of ten students of the tenth graders of computer and network engineering in e class at SMK Darul A'mal Metro is poor of reading strategy.

Lack of vocabulary
On the word of interview, it can be classified that three of ten students are difficult to find the main idea because of limit vocabulary. So, the third factor that faced by three of ten students of the tenth graders of computer and network engineering in e class at SMK Darul A'mal Metro is poor of vocabulary knowledge.
Also from the data interview, it can be known that only two of ten students do not have difficulties on reading text in finding main idea because the students can solve the difficulties with students' ability. And for other students might solve the difficulties with teacher's help and friends' help. So, it means that students' difficulties on reading text in finding main idea at the tenth graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro are in paragraph components, reading strategy, vocabulary knowledge.
Afterwards, from the data result, the researcher found that in interview answer number nine that the students solve the difficulties with ask the teacher including four students, that the students solve the difficulties with ask the students including two students, that the students solve the difficulties with reading the text repeatedly including four students Based on the research at the tenth graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro, the researcher would like to discuss as follows: 1. The difficulties that faced by students on reading text This research was conducted by the researcher on ten students of the tenth graders of computer and network engineering in E class at SMK Darul A'mal Metro. From the data result in the previous elaboration, the researcher found that the students' difficulties in reading text at the tenth graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro is the students are difficult to find the main idea in English text. It can be known from the result of observation and interview. The researcher classified the students' score from overt observation which only three of ten students that get the high score. Those students are Desna Ulandari got 76, Vina Nur Aini got 72, and Allya Dhaifina Putri got 68. So, it can be conclude that the students are difficult to find main idea on reading text. Then, the result of interview answer number four it can be seen that ten of ten students of the tenth graders of computer and network engineering in e class at SMK Darul A'mal Metro are difficult to find main idea on reading text. 2. The factors that caused the students difficult to find the main idea on reading text.
As stated in the data result in the previous elaboration, the researcher found in covert observation the factors that caused the students difficult to find the main idea on reading text are: the students need a long time in answering question of main idea question, the students do not focus while answering question, and also the students do not know the meaning of the sentence.

Moreover, to solve the students' difficulties, the researcher concludes that teachers should improve the experience taught and give the students the skimming and scanning strategy when teaching.
The Researcher used some relevant previous research to support and prove the originality of this research. There are five researchers that had done the research in reading about analysis of difficulties. The first research is from Anita Lovia Girsang et.al., entitled "An Analysis of Reading Comprehension Difficulties in TOEFL Test by High School Students". The researchers did the research on high school students who had taken the TOEFL test. The objective of the research was to find out the difficulties that were felt by high students in answering reading comprehension questions on TOEFL test. The analysis of the data use qualitative research method. In addition, the result of the research can be found that the biggest problem in reading comprehension in the TOEFL test was due to the lack of interest in reading high school students so they would feel bored by seeing the text in front of them and it was still difficult for high school students to find the meaning of the text due to lack of vocabulary, and lack of practice to answer questions related to reading comprehension with the lack of practice, they think that the time to answer questions is not enough.
The second research is from Nining Warnidah and Bambang Suwarno Arono with the title "Students' Difficulties in Making Inference in Reading Narrative Passage at the Social Eleventh Grade of SMAN 1 Curup". The researcher conducts the research on the eleventh graders students of SMAN 1 Curup. The researchers present the purpose of this research is to find out the students' difficulties in making inference in reading narrative passages. The researchers used reading test to get data. The researcher also presents the result that the students' overall difficulty in making inference in reading narrative passages belonged to "moderate" category.
Next, the prior research entitled "The Difficulties Encountered by The Second Grade Students of SMA YPTB Ketong in Reading Comprehension" written by Sudarto, Nadrun and Andi Naniwarsih. In this research, the researchers conducted this research in SMA YPTB Ketong. Goal of this research is to find out the difficulties in reading comprehension encountered by the second grade students of SMA YPTB Ketong. The data was collected by interviewing the students and the English teachers. The researchers conclude that the result of interview from the teachers shows that in the teaching process they do not know the name of the method, explain more and more because students get confused in understanding and translating the words in reading text. The student have insufficient vocabulary so that they find it difficult to understand reading comprehension, difficult in getting message from the reading text, to understand the teacher's explanation and words in English that have more than one meaning.
Then, journal of Fernandita Gusweni Jayanti from Universitas Bengkulu entitled "Reading Difficulties: Comparison on Students' and Teachers' Perception". Students of English Department Program at the University Bengkulu were randomly chosen in this study and also teachers who teaching reading course. This study conducted in order to examine and compare students' and teachers' perception regarding students' reading difficulties. The method of this study used questionnaire. For the result of the study, students and teachers agree in some points and in some points there are different perceptions.
The last study is taken from journal of Ratih Laily Nurjanah published in Universitas Ngudi Waluyo with the title "The Analysis on Students' Difficulties in Doing Reading Comprehension Final Test". The writer observes this study on students of English Literature at Universitas Ngudi Waluyo. This study is an attempt to find out the difficulties that students faced when doing reading comprehension to find the technique or method to overcome the problem and answer the research questions. The writer chose explanatory multi-method strategy for the method of this study. The result show that students face problem related to poor habit of reading and less interesting reading comprehension course in classroom.
Referring to the prior research, the researcher focused on analyzing students' difficulties. Based on background study the researcher wants to know the factors that causes students difficult to find the main idea in text. For that, the researcher wants to From what has been previously described in the background of the study and identification of problems, researcher found that doing research cover all the things that have been stated before is not possible. Therefore, researcher and English teacher decided to limit the problems with conduct research that focuses on something more specific, This research, designed to obtain an empirical description of the students' difficulties in reading text in English learning particularly. As a result, the researcher would like to conduct the research with the title "An Analysis of Students' Difficulties on Reading Text in Finding Main Idea at the Tenth Graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro".
Referring to the problem of the study, the implication of the research is hopefully able to know the difficulties that faced by the students in reading text, the factors of the students' difficulties in finding the main idea in text, the students overcome the difficulties in finding main idea in the text at the tenth graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro.
The implication of the research for the students, the researcher hopes that the students be able to find the main idea in every kind of text on reading skill. For the teacher, the researcher hopes that the teacher be able to improve the experience in solve the students' difficulties and give the appropriate strategies to students. For the researcher, the researcher hopes that the researcher be able to give result on description factors of the students' difficulties in finding the main idea in text that faced by the tenth graders at SMK Darul A'mal Metro.

CONCLUSION
The difficulties that faced by students on reading text according to the research result and discussion that explained in chapter IV, the students are difficult to find the main idea on reading text. It can be seen from the result of observation and the students' answer of interview. Then, the researcher classified the students' score from overt observation which only three of ten students that get the high score. Those students are Desna Ulandari got 76, Vina Nur Aini 72, and Allya Dhaifina Putri got 68. Moreover, the result of interview answer number four it can be seen that the students of the tenth graders of computer and network engineering in e class at SMK Darul A'mal Metro are difficult to find main idea on reading text. So, it can be conclude that the students are difficult to find main idea on reading text.
Furthermore, the factors that caused the students difficult to find the main idea in text according to the research result and discussion that explained in chapter IV, the students need a long time in answering question of main idea question, the students do not focus while answering the questions, and the students also do not know the meaning of the sentence. It can be seen in observation result.
Also it can be seen in interview answers that most of students at the tenth graders of SMK Darul A'mal Metro are do not know what is main idea, and the students do not know how to find the main idea in the text. Another reason of the factor that make the students difficult to find the main idea in English text because of the long sentence, limit vocabulary of students, and the students' lack of reading strategy.
Thus, from the students' answer of interview according to the research result and discussion, the solving of the difficulties in finding main idea in the text are read again the text, ask the teacher, and ask friends for a help. To solve the students' difficulties, the researcher conclude that students should learn more about technique to find the main idea, understanding more vocabulary, and more exercise to answer the question of finding main idea.
