It’s Your Turn，Roger！輪到你了，羅杰！

同學們在家會做些力所能及的家務嗎？在一個家庭或者集體里，每個成員都應該貢獻自己的一份力量，可是文中那只懶豬羅杰卻連擺桌子準備開飯這種小事也不愿意做，而且他覺得別人家的孩子不需要干這些活兒，為此他挨家挨戶地查看……實際情況究竟如何呢？讓我們一起隨羅杰去看看吧！

Its nearly supper time.

“Roger，its your turn to set the table.” Thats his sister calling.

“I see you，Roger！” Thats his little brother.

“Roger，you know we all take turns to help.” Thats Rogers dad.

“Roger，its your turn.” Thats his uncle.

“Roger！ You heard what Uncle Tim said. I dont want to hear another word about it！” Thats Rogers mum.

“OK，OK，” moans Roger.

“In other families you dont have to help，” Roger grumbles.

“Are you sure？” asks Uncle Tim. “Why dont you go and see？”

“All right，I will，” says Roger.

He stomps out of the door.

“Excuse me，” says Roger， and he hops upstairs.

What a messy table，thinks Roger. And what dreadful pancakes！

No one notices as he slips out.

“Come in，come in，” says the family on the third floor.

“Do I have to set the table？” asks Roger.

“Certainly not，youre a guest.Come in and have a little snack.”
