First past the post means for each constituency the person with the most votes gets elected. Proportional representation means that you have every party that gets a vote represented depending on the percentage of votes they got. So if a party got 10% of the votes it gets 10% of the seats in what ever the election was for even if they didnt have any consituancy where they got the most votes.
Fptp is used in for example the US and the UK.A pure PR is used in Brazil and Isreal for example and there are a lot of countries that dont use a pure PR system but either a combination of both Systems for example Germany or variation for PR like Ireland.
