Place content between the header & footer (h2, p, ul) inside an element that represents standalone sections of content

I do not understand what this is asking. I have tried all the forums and cannot get a clear answer. If someone could show me the code completed versus telling me with a simplified explanation this would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

It is asking you to place the content listed inside a <section></section> tag group. This represents a separate section of content.

 <section>
    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>
