Hola everyone. I’ve been thinking about something that causes me trouble, not just on the GED, but all the time! You know, sometimes people here in the states talk so strangely.

Hola, everyone! How’s the GED going? I wanted to talk to you about something that I saw in some GED questions. It’s predicting what characters would do. That’s an interesting thing to study, I think. I mean, how do you predict what a character would do? How are you supposed to know what some fictional [...]

Hola, GED studiers! Ready for the GED reading test, yet? I got a practice question for you, just like you might find on the GED test… so test out your GED reading skills… Here’s an excerpt from Jack London’s “To Build a Fire,” written in 1910:
