 CONCLUSION
From the data, it was found that the errors occurred potentially because of the
influence of the first language. The first possibility is the difference phonological
system between Bahasa Indonesia as the first language and the English as the se
cond language. The second cause of the error is the English knowledge of the Indo
nesian or the speaker. It is because the limited knowledge of vocabulary.
