Writing skill: parallel structure
parallel structure = when phrases are connected with “and”, “or”, “but”, they have the same structure

He wants to either be a firefighter or fly planes. - not parallel, because “firefighter” and “fly planes” have different structures
-> He wants to either be a firefighter or a pilot. / He either wants to fight fires or fly planes.
	(noun or noun / verb+noun or verb+noun)

-> She had many different roles: wife, mother, student, worker.
