Many essay prompts will ask your opinion on something. There's nothing worse than being "wishy-washy" on a topic. Don't be afraid to make a decision & then explain it! The GED essay does not have a "right" or a "wrong" answer. Instead, the reader is looking for you to answer the prompt in a clear way! Take a look at two answers below to a particular essay topic.
Topic: Would you want to live in a big city? Why or why not?
Wishy-Washy Answer: Sometimes I think I might like to live in a big city, but other times I think I wouldn't like it.
(That answer is not good because the writer has not firmly answered the question!)
Decisive Answer: I would definitely want to live in a big city.
(That answer is good because the writer has clearly identified his or her opinion on the topic!)

Here's where I want you to practice giving decisive one-sentence answers to a few questions. Remember that there's no "right" answer, but just be firm in what you say!
