In exploring the meanings in students‟ texts, the researcher employed descriptive qualitative analysis in which the exploration focuses to reveal the realisation of meanings through text analysis. The researcher collected the data (students‟ texts), then divided them into sentences, and then analyzed by using three metafunctions: Interpersonal, Ideational Meanings and Textual Meanings. Having analyzed the data, the researcher found that in interpersonal meanings, the highest frequently of mood types found in students‟ descriptive texts in the form of personal letter is Declarative Mood. To achieve the goal of the texts, mostly the students used declarative mood to give information in the form of statement in the letter and used medium degree of modal verbs (will, would, should, be to, supposed to) to give their intention about what would the writer do to the reader. In ideational meanings, most students used Mental Process in descriptive text. They wanted to describe about their feeling to the addressee, as a result, participant mostly used by the students in writing text is senser and phenomenon. For circumstances, the highest frequency used by the students is circumstance of location. It indicates that some places are mentioned by students to support information described by the students.
