This activity brings the language of the section 

into the real world. Students take turns to 

describe to a partner an IT problem that 

happened to them, and the solution. Ideally, this 

would be a problem with a spreadsheet but if 

they have had little experience with 

spreadsheets, any IT problem will do, especially 

if it relates to the topic of a previous unit.  

 

Further practice is provided by asking students 

to form new pairs and describe the problem they 

heard, not the one they themselves described. 

This will help them focus on both understanding 

and communicating meaning from the 

beginning of this activity.
