Help please!?
This looks very much like your homework. You should attempt it yourself. That is the only way you will learn. Each part of learning is the building block for the next stage. You are cheating yourself if you don't at least attempt this because you will get more and more lost, less able to do the next task.





Please, when you hand your work in, tell your teacher you found it hard and that you would like some help. That way, he/she will help you and you will soon be getting A* without needing to cheat by asking on Answers.
