[color=red]1) The harder the work you do, the higher will be your pay.This is awkward due to lack of consistency/parallelism. You can make it sound acceptable if you rewrite it this way:The harder the work you do, the higher the pay you get/receive. Now it is parallel because you have this matching: the harder the work <> the higher the pay; you do <> you get.
