You have to format the 'template' with the values of each dictionary key.

  1. Create empty list
  2. Create the function 'string_function(*here goes the list with dictionary)'
  3. Do a 'for' loop and format the 'template' you have an example in the challenge. **
  4. append the formated template to the list.

You get values out of a dictionary like this: dictionary_name["key_name"]
