Hi Min Jeong!

First off, my apologies for the delayed response! Here are my answers to your questions:

——————

Module 1-1) On the first sentence of the first paragraph, "The scale of cruelty and corporal punishment ~", You translated cruelty as "잔인함."
                      But I thought translating cruelty as "학대" might be better. Which one is better?

-> If you believe “학대” sounds more correct, then by all means that is what you should do here! I do not think it does not change the meaning or the gist of the sentence either way.

Module 1-1) On the last sentence of 6th paragraph, is Nizamuddin a poor overcrowded "basti"?
                     Are both words-'basti' and slum-all explaining about Nizamuddin?

-> I believe I briefly talk about this in the video but essentially I think it is basically referring to one district/area in India.

——————

Module 1-3) On the 3.The most interesting thing about ~ paragraph,
                      I don't know why I feel a little awkward in this sentence: If you can't sustain genuine interest in the ideas of other people."
                      What does "sustain something in ~" mean?


-> Here, the closest meaning of “to sustain” should be (무엇을) 유지하다/지속하다. To simplify, it is saying: “If you can’t keep being genuinely interested in other people’s ideas.”

Module 1-4) On the fifth paragraph, I translated third sentence like "1월과 7월의 겨울과 여름 상품 판매가 끝난 후에는 ~".
                       Would it be fine to translate like this?

-> Sounds fine to me!

Module 1-1, Sentence 7
1) Why do we use plurals as "new services" whereas it goes singular when it comes to system, like "a new system"?

-> To be honest with you, there is really no good explanation. Yes, in some cases there might be a specific reason why a noun is more commnly used in a singular vs plural form, but generally speaking, trying to look for this reason is often futile due to irregularities. I am glad that you noticed this point as this is a very first step to acquiring English, not simply learning it.

2) Is this sentence fine? The transportation company started new services that replace old shuttle buses.

-> Yes.

Module 1-1, Sentence 12
Is this sentence fine? I will inform you of the current developments in detail.

-> Mostly fine but I feel like the part “잠깐만 귀를 기울여 주시면…” is not really reflected?

——————


Module 1-1, Sentence 16
~ because managers led it to success with innovations. -> In this sentence, I think it is necessary to mention "it" as business because there is no explanation of what "it" is, in the previous sentence.

-> I am not sure if it is necessary to explain what “it” is as it sounds pretty clear that here “it” means the “retail business in dry economic periods”.


——————


Module 1-2, the very last sentence
Is this sentence fine? If you leave your violin case open with a hat or a tattered basket, people will toss in coins and bills ~.

-> Sounds good!
