English is an international language that can make it easier for students to interact with other people, but in Indonesia English is not a second language but a foreign language. English is not only able to describe an object, but is very crucial in developing four language skills, namely, reading, writing, speaking and listening. When language learners will deepen these four skills, the basic thing that must be done is mastery of vocabulary. For example, studying vocabulary can help students understand phrases and word meanings, which is necessary knowledge for listening comprehension.
