As this is course work I wont give you answers just pointers to help.

from the wording of the question your teacher is probably more interested 
in you understanding how to define functions.

so from the design requirements you will need something like

def get_random():
	#your code foes here

def is_even(number):
	#you code here

you then need to loop through the code writing to file each time you get 
an even result.

a for loop is probably not the best type of loop for this task.

once you have some more code I am sure we will help further if you get 
stuck with any specifics.
