medium density fibreboard - It is a kind of board laminated from Saw Dust
block board - It is a kind of board make from small pieces of wood inside and then laminated 2 sides with plain plywood
acrylic - It should be a type of plastic.
high gloss - It is a kind of colour that is very bright irregardless of the material used inside.
laminated - It is like gluing 1 pc of paper on another pc paper. It is a kind of process. In the term of carpentry means gluing another material on top of the current material.

Hope this helps you.
