open ubuntu software centre (it's the launcher with the shopping bag icon or hit super key (windows key) to open the dash and type soft... the same icon should come up.
Once software center is open you can search for what you want.
You don't need to know the name of what you are looking for,search will match software to search terms e.g. "photo " will bring up Gimp photo software.If you select an item a "more info" button appears to offer a description and reviews.
Make your choice and click install.

Have fun.
