× Yes, I'm confident that I'm good at the remembering the numbers.
✓ Yes, I'm confident that I'm good at remembering numbers.
The use of 'the' before 'remembering the numbers' is incorrect here because 'remembering numbers' is a general activity, not a specific set of numbers. The definite article 'the' should be omitted to make the sentence grammatically correct.
× Still now I can remember over 80 numbers also.
✓ Even now, I can remember over 80 numbers as well.
The phrase 'Still now' is not idiomatic in English. 'Even now' is a better choice to express the idea of continuing ability. Also, 'also' is better replaced with 'as well' at the end of the sentence for natural flow.
× Although I'm studying at the university right now, I have to work as an economic journalist after going back to Japan, so I have to use many statistics or profits or numbers of cooperation.
✓ Although I'm studying at university right now, I have to work as an economic journalist after going back to Japan, so I have to use many statistics, profits, or numbers of corporations.
The phrase 'studying at the university' is better as 'studying at university' when referring to university in general. Also, 'numbers of cooperation' is incorrect; it should be 'numbers of corporations' to refer to companies. Additionally, commas are needed to separate items in the list for clarity.
× Instead, I prefer the social studies and the literature because it requires a very complicated discussions and arguments.
✓ Instead, I preferred social studies and literature because they required very complicated discussions and arguments.
The question is about the past ('Did you enjoy studying math as a child?'), so the answer should be in the past tense. 'Prefer' should be 'preferred', and 'requires' should be 'required'. Also, 'social studies' and 'literature' are plural concepts here, so 'they' is used instead of 'it'. The article 'the' before 'social studies' and 'literature' is unnecessary and should be removed.
× Number six is the most important unforgettable numbers for me because it is, uh, position number of shortstop invisible.
✓ Number six is the most important unforgettable number for me because it is, uh, the position number of the shortstop.
'Numbers' should be singular 'number' because it refers to one specific number. Also, 'position number of shortstop invisible' is unclear and ungrammatical; it should be 'the position number of the shortstop' to make sense. The definite article 'the' is needed before 'position number' and 'shortstop'.
× When I was in junior high school, I could get a regular position of a short stop and #6 was my uniform number.
✓ When I was in junior high school, I was able to get a regular position as a shortstop and #6 was my uniform number.
The phrase 'could get' is less appropriate here; 'was able to get' is better to express achievement. Also, 'short stop' should be one word 'shortstop'. The preposition 'as' is used to indicate the role or position held.
