How about trying something yourself? Make an effort and write a few lines of 
code. Here's a sketch:

Open a file for writing (use the with statement).
    Iterate over the dict items (key-value pairs). Inside the loop:
        Print the key. You may need to investigate how the print() function
        works with files.
        Iterate over the value list and print the items.
        Print a blank line.

If your code doesn't work come back and post it here.
