stutterer from china Senior from a not so bad college in china.only 5 people in my profession(material physics) still got stutter when making presentations required by our courses. I feel guilty and i managed to overcome it simply didnt work out. Now i forwent the chance of getting a phd degree in tsinhua univ. Cuz i want to lead a new life in usa and finish my academic career there. Here's the problem: i stutter when i take the toefl test, the oral test.in fact i can speak fluently by myself but simply got too nervous to utter some syllable when taking the test,like"disagree""Use" shame on me. I still wonder if i have to carry this heavy burden for the rest of my life.i stutter even when talking to my girlfriend....it's the last year of my life in university, my roomates are playing since they have find some place to get a degree but i have to study the toefl and GRE test. Hope we can all say goodbye to stutter and all our efforts worthwhile.😔
