Latihan 1 Reading: Read the following text. You see, divorce changes childhood- but not necessarily for the worse. Why? Because many children from broken homes go on establish loving relationships with both their parents. It is difficult for children to be party to any ongoing dispute between parents. One child spoke of the “Bermuda Triangle” – the mythical space between the homes of her parents into which socks and schoolbooks, games kit and pencil sharpeners, always seemed to disappear. Another child complained bitterly that one mother refused to let her on the weekends she spent with her dad. They hated being told secrets and carrying messages to and fro between their parents. Worrying about how the kids will be affected by divorce often leads parents into crooked thinking. MAY DIVORCE MEAN HAPPIER LIVES FOR THE CHILDREN?
