Hello everyone! A good number of you are probably aware of this at this point, but I’m very happy to announce the launch of Sepupunomics!

Sepupunomics is a sister company in the Ascendant Academy Group, and it is a blog and resource dedicated towards IGCSE, A-Levels, and IB Economics!

It’s a completely different subject, but it aligns perfectly with my background, which was in economics before I began to administrate, run, and teach through EnglishFirstLanguage.net!

I tend to write and to express myself a lot more in Sepupunomics just because beyond language, which is a clear and present fascination of mine, it concerns matters that are of real world interest to me and it also allows me to talk about a very large different range of topics.

Even if you’ve never considered studying economics before, or you don’t know if it’s right for you, you’ve ever wondered about how I process, understand, contemplate and articulate myself on a whole range of different issues (may also later develop a resource on articulation), you may be interested to check it out – I assure you that it will be worth your time!

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to coming back to you with some fascinating content in the days ahead!

Victor Tan.

Descriptive Essay Reflection and Breakdown: Describe a tense moment during a competition. (May 2025 Variant 2, Question 2) 

Welcome back, friends! February’s here, and I’ve been thinking about how the word “tense” does double duty in English. There’s tense as in tight, strained, pressured—the feeling in your shoulders before a difficult conversation. And there’s tense as in grammatical tense: past, present, future. What’s fascinating is how these two […]

Narrative Essay Reflection and Breakdown: Write a story with the title, ‘The path to success’. (May 2025 Variant 1, Question 5)

Welcome back, friends! January’s almost over, and I’ve been thinking about how English handles success. We have this whole vocabulary of vertical movement: “climbing the ladder,” “reaching the top,” “rising to the occasion,” “making it big.” Success, in English, is always upward—as if achievement were a matter of altitude, not […]
