Hi Alex, There are a few mistakes in your code but you're on the right way.

TASK-1 : place the <ul>,<h1>,<p> inside an element that represent introductory content.

<header>
   <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
</header>

the <header> element represents a group/section of introductory content

TASK-2 : You're asked to put the <p> tags inside an element that usually contains information of the side, copyrights, social media links and more at the bottom of the site. 

<footer>
      <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
      <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
</footer>

TASK-3 : Everything is excellent, the <ul> is properly indented inside the <nav> element which btw represents a major navigation section on your page.

P.S Usually the body tag divides itself into 3 major section: <header>, <main>, <footer> their purpose I've explained above. the header most commonly includes a introductory content (<p> + heading) with a navigation menu <nav>. The <section> element which you've used to wrap the <p> & <h1> tags is incorrect because the <section> tag represents thematic breaks between sections of the page.

HAPPY CODING
