So you're homework is to translate that piece of text and you want somebody who speaks German to translate it for you? So you basically want someone to do your homework for you. That isn't the best way to start trying to understand another language. I also speak French so I can't actually help you with the German itself but I can tell you that you won't learn a language without putting in enough effort.

If you can't understand the text go through it and highlight any words that you don't understand. Once you've done that, go and look the words up. In practice its best to use quite a large dictionary which will give you insight into the context of the vocab. If you don't own a big dictionary I would suggest this website English to French, Italian, German & Spanish Dictionary - WordReference.com . I find it very helpful when there's a word I need to look up.

Once you've got all that vocab down (don't lose it, keep it and learn it!) try and read through the text again, this time trying to get the general sense of what the text is saying. Once you have a basic sense of what some or all of the text is telling you, break it down. Tackle each section at a time. Don't translate word for word, it doesn't work - you need to read a sentence as a whole and translate the sentence into the best English equivalent that you can think of.

If you are really struggling and have tried the steps I've listed above you can use google translate BASIS (don't copy the translation) for you work. It might give you more of an insight into the text however do remember it will not be completely accurate so you need to be wary.
