When was New Model Army created?
New Model Army was created in 1645.
What did the Roundheads do to prepare inexperienced soldiers in the English Civil War?
Basically, at first, the Roundheads' didn't really help their new, inexperienced soldiers. Army commanders used their own knowledge - which was often rudimentary at best! Then, in February 1645, the new model army was created. Inexperienced soldiers were subjected to rigorous, tough and thorough training to prepare them. This was very effective as it meant that the soldiers knew how to handle themselves in a battle situation and eventually helped the Roundheads' to win the Civil War. Soldiers were also paid the equivalent of 10p a day, something which often stopped them from deserting! Hope this helped. Members of Parliament were called Roundheads because of the close haircuts favored by the Puritans. Gradually the royalists were defeated.
What did the Royalists consist of?
The Royalists were the troops loyal to King Charles I in the English Civil War. They fought many battles large and small against the Parliamentary troops of Oliver Cromwell (The New Model Army or Roundheads) and ultimately lost. King Charles also lost his head.

What was the difference between parliaments old army and the new model army?
The New Model Army, organised by Oliver Cromwell, was a part of the Parliamentarian rebellion against the Royalists. The "old army", as you put it, did not answer to a Parliament - they were the Royalist army.
