Once upon a time Jack went to his Grandma's house. It was quite far from the town he lived in. It took him 3 hours to get there! Granny met him at the bus station. They went home, Jack ate his favourite french fries. He fell asleep as soon as he arrived. The next morning he woke up at 7am and started to help his grandma to plant a tree.

Перевод: Однажды Джэк поехал домой к его бабушке. Он был довольно далеко от города, в котором он жил. Добраться до туда заняло у него 3 часа! Бабушка встретила его на автобусной остановке. Они пошли домой, Джэк съел свою любимую картошку фри. Как только он пришел, то сразу же уснул. На следующее утро он проснулся в 7 утра и стал бабушке посадить дерево.

Объяснение:

* С глаголом "hard" есть нюанс. У него разные значения перевода (как наречия):  тяжело и твёрдо.

сравнительное наречие harder используется для сравнения материалов, например 'железо твёрже алюминия'

А в отношении сравнения работы или действия, больше подходит: more hard.

Но возможно преподаватель ожидает услышать: "worked  harder ever"
