11月17日VOA聽力：昂山素季為緬甸帶去願望
Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracyis on its way to a landslide victory after a nation-wide election on Sunday. It will be almost fivemonths before the shape of Myanmar's nextgovernment is revealed.
But the people of Myanmar have already begunprojecting their own hopes and dreams onto the woman known here as "Mother Suu."
Showing their enthusiasm for democratic change, a dozen staff members at a Mandalaystationery shop volunteered as unofficial election observers on election day. They now hopefor better job prospects and improvements to the country's dire education system, in whichstudents are asked to memorize answers to questions in an unfamiliar language.
A lot of changes are needed in Myanmar, but the main thing is education. The education systemin the country is really bad. I'm a university graduate, and even I don't know how to speakEnglish.
For a party whose new parliamentarians will include medical doctors, former political prisonersand several poets, the energy of the opposition movement makes up for any lack of economicand political expertise. Despite the absence of detailed policies, supporters are entrusting theirfaith in Aung San Suu Kyi's leadership.
This is a very important time for our country. We are in a transition period. During this kind ofchange, the support of the people is the most important.
Myint Kyaw remembers taking part in the 1988 nationwide democratic uprising, and thedisappointment he felt when the military ignored the NLD's election victory two years later.
Now running a tea shop, the traditional venue for political debate in Myanmar, he says hesupports the NLD because he is tired of the country being run for the benefit of a small elite.
Our country has a lot of resources, but now those resources have been grabbed by a fewpeople. If the people can get those resources, the country can change.
While voters understand that change will take time, today the expectations of the people ofMyanmar could not be higher.
