You're almost there!! We select the span element inside the .intro by doing the following:

.intro span {

}

You already have the font-weight and font-style values correct, so you can put them inbetween the curly brackets like so:

.intro span {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;  
}

Hope that helps!!
