You forgot to close the quote in your <meta>-element. This causes an issue with the following code. Plus, try to add as a paragraph just what they want to:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>My first paragraph!</p>
  </body>
</html>

Actually your answer is right. Furthermore the

<meta charset="UTF-8">

should be within the

<head></head>

tag.

Your meta should be inside head and with quote marks. <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> </head>
