  2. STEP 1Record thefollowingtext. Do notgethelpfromthesound files orthephonetictranscriptions. Record it ONLY once and with no previouspreparation. The fittest person I know is my cousin, Darren. He’s twenty-six and he’s training to be an army officer. Darren’s tall and well-built and he looks fantastic in his uniform. He’s also very strong, and he has amazing stamina. For his training, he has to do really difficult exercises. For example, he has to run up mountains carrying about forty kilos of equipment on his back. That’s almost like carrying a person! He has to eat a really high-calorie diet, but he’s always loved his food so that’s not too difficult for him. He says he’s enjoying the training, but it’s hard to believe because he used to be so lazy. When he was a student, he never got up before midday, and he never did any housework. Now, he gets up at 5.30 in the morning, and he has to iron his uniform every day!
