question If you keep working hard, your mark will remain high. If you keep hard-working, your mark will remain high. Question: Which one sounds natural to native speakers? If neither, could you help me correct it?

The first one sounds natural. The second one is not just unnatural, but also grammatically incorrect. "Hardworking" is an adjective, not a verb / adverb combination.

thank you :-)

1st sounds very natural
