1、这回Phil要给我们介绍印度尼西亚，听他讲讲那里的山以及他在那里的经历吧。Todd: So, Phil, what country would you like to talk about now?Phil: I am going to talk about Indonesia. And specific, I am going to talk about Mt. Bromo. Its the highest point in Java. One of the biggest island, well the most highly populated island in Indonesia.

2、 Ah, last fall, around November, I made it to Bromo and, theres a very high mountain there, over 3,000 meters tall, called Mt. Semaru and I decided to hike this with my girlfriend, Sara.
