That's not a web page. It's a graphic masquerading as one, and a slow
loading one at that.

Just try using that with image loading turned off. You can't. It is an
accessibility disaster.

You will never understand until you stop using a graphics editor to make
web pages. Start off using just plain text. Use valid, semantic HTML to
mark up headings, paragraphs, lists of links, and other page elements.
Once you have the structure down, then you can start embellishing it
with graphics, color and what-not, using CSS for styling.

If that's not what your instructor is teaching you, then you should
complain to the school and get your money back.
