This research was quantitative research. The subjects of this research were 15 students. The writing test and questionnaire test were administrated as the instrument of this research. The result showed that there was a statistically high correlation of the students' risk taking and their writing ability. This suggests that the higher students' risk taking level, the better their writing ability
