 One way to introduce this activity is to 

ask students to describe past problems they have 

had with a spreadsheet (or, if they have not used 

spreadsheets before, with other software or 

hardware). Guide them towards using the 

correct tense while they describe the problems.  

 

Students now listen to four IT employees 

describing scenarios involving spreadsheet 

problems. Each describes both a past action and 

a present action or situation. While listening, 

students complete a table to show the past and 

present actions.
