When I say “I’m majoring economics”, many people around me, like my mother, grandparents and friends, ask me “which stocks should we buy now? ”, “Do you understand what effects the government’s recent economic policies will have?”. However, I I can’t answer questions like that at all. So far, most of what I studied in the economics department was mathematics, so I don’t really understand how economy works in the real world now.
Also, from next year, we will begin conducting research in small groups, but my theme will be something related statistical modeling.

Of course, I am aware that my understanding of the real economic world is insufficient. But what I have to study most now is programming.


「経済学を専攻している」と言うと、母や祖父母、友人など、周りの多くの人から「今、どの株を買えばいいの?」「政府の最近の経済政策がどんな影響を与えるか理解している?」と聞かれます。

しかし、私はそういった質問に全く答えられません。これまで経済学部で学んだことのほとんどは数学だったので、現実社会における経済の仕組みをあまり理解していません。

また、来年からは少人数のグループで研究を始めるのですが、私のテーマは統計モデリングに関連したものになる予定です。

もちろん、現在の社会経済への理解が不十分であることは自覚しています。しかし、今私が最も勉強しなければならないのはプログラミングなのです。

When I say “I’m majoring in economics (or My major is Economics)”, many people around me, like my mother, grandparents and friends, ask me “which stocks should we buy now? ”, “Do you understand what effects the government’s recent economic policies will have?”.

However, I I can’t answer questions like that at all.

So far, most of what I have studied in the economics department was mathematics, so I don’t really understand how the economy works in the real world now.

1. As "So far" includes the past and present, the present perfect tense is more suitable. People often omit "have" in everyday speaking because they instinctively understood it subconsciously.
2. As you are referring to a specific economy - the economy of the real world, "the" is used.

Also, fromstarting next year, we will begin conducting research in small groups, but my theme (or topic, which is also closer to "テーマ") will be something related to statistical modeling.

Of course, I am aware that my understanding of the real world economic worlds is insufficient.

But what I have to study most now is (actually) programming.

The "actually" is not required, it's just that based on the context and the "のです" at the end, it gives off that nuance.

I have a similar situation where I studied and now working in the IT industry. People often would just assume I can fix whatever problems they have in their computer or software, which is of course not the case. I remember I had to use matlab back then for statistics, I wonder if this is the kind of programming you are referring to. I already forgot everything about it though. Anyway, all the best for your researches!

Proper capitalization in your title.

When I say “I’m majoring in economics”, many people around me, like my mother, grandparents, and friends, ask me “wWhich stocks should we buy now? ”, or “Do you understand what effects the government’s recent economic policies will have?”.

In English, we say “majoring in [subject]"
Capitalize the first word inside quotes.
Connect the questions with “or” for smoother flow.

However, I I can’t answer questions like that at all.

Remove the repeated “I.”

So far, most of what I studied in the economics department was mathematics, so I don’t really understand how the economy works in the real world now.

Add “the” before “economy”
Remove “now” at the end because it’s redundant.

Also, from next year, we will begin conducting research in small groups, butand my theme will be something related to statistical modeling.

Use “and” instead of “but”
Add “to” after “related”

But what I haveneed to study most now is programming.

“Need to study” is more natural than “have to study” in this context.

Corrections are mostly about small grammar details, prepositions, and phrasing. Good job, keep writing! 🤍
