28、ESS WORLD RECORDSGood morning everyone.Youre probably asking yourself why anyone would try to set a record at all.Well,!can tell you that its not only great fun,but it also gives you a huge sense of accomplishment if you do set a world record.You might also be thinking that you would have no chance

29、of setting a record.Well,there are actually plenty of chances because about a quarter of records in the Guinness Book of World Records are broken each year.So,lets say youve decided to give it a go.The first thing Id recommend would be to look through the Guinness Book and choose a category that cat

30、ches your eye and that you would find fun to do.You have a much greater chance of setting a record if theres a category for it in the book.Dont Choose something unless youre certain its a category.I know of someone who pogo-sticked up the stairs of the tallest building in the world.It was filmed and

31、 he hoped that the Guinness office would accept it.Well,they didnt because there wasnt a category for it.Now,if you have a new idea for a category,contact the Guinness office before going ahead with your record attempt.And,a piece of advice theyre more likely to accept it if they think other people

32、would be interested in challenging your record.OK.Now,once youve chosen your event,you have to train for it.Its a good idea to build up your training slowly.For example,if the record for jumping jacks is thee thousand,dont try and do that many straight away.When youve done enough training,do a trial

33、 run just so you can see if anythings going to go wrong.And,when you are trying for a record,if something does go wrong,dont give up.Try and fix the problem and if you cant,try and work with the problem.I knew a guy whose machine got stuck at a very low speed but instead of stopping his record attem

34、pt,he just did the whole distance at that low speed.Ask some friends to go with you to encourage your efforts and to offer advice.That can really help if youre feeling like giving up or if youre not thinking clearly.And one last piece of advice.Make sure you have proof of your new record.OK are you ready now to take on a challenge?
