title: From Excel to list of tuples
body: <p>I have an Excel (.xlsx) file that has two columns of phrases. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>John  I have a dog     
  Mike  I need a cat
  Nick  I go to school
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to import it in Python and to get a list of tuples like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[('John', 'I have a dog'), ('Mike', 'I need a cat'), ('Nick', 'I go to school'), ...]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What could I do?</p>
