In this sentence, you have 3 different subjects [reading, conference, and writing] each of these subjects is using the same verb [maketh]. In this case, parallel structure makes the verb apply to all 3 subjects because they are in a sense structured the same way, and it sounds awkward to use the same verb 3 times in a sentence.
A similar example would be to say 'Take two steps to the right, one to the left, and one forward.'
Here are some examples of parallel and non-parallel sentences:I like finding Internet questions, answering Internet questions, and reading the responses. (parallel)When I find an internet questions, I answer them and read the a response. (not parallel).Note how the bold words repeat the same structure as gerunds... (verb, adjective, noun).The second sentence has no similar structure and contains errors.

Francis Greenwood has written: 'Sentence structure and reading'
"In the morning, I like to run, drink coffee, and reading a book" breaks the rule of parallel structure because "reading" should be changed to "read" to maintain consistency with the other verbs in the list.
"She is a paragon of reading." is a sentence, yes. You will notice that it has a subject ("she") and a predicate ("is a paragon of reading")
I am reading.
well, personally, i continue reading if it is used correctly, but if it is used incorrectly i get verrry upset.
Reading improves a child's vocabulary, and (arguably) their ability to see. Also, reading helps children learn about grammar, sentence structure, and the ability to understand what a word would mean without the aid of a dictionary.
It is a gerund in the sentence, "Reading is her favorite pastime." It is a present participle in "'Crime and Punishment' is what she is currently reading ."
I'm at the libary, reading a book.
You can read a sentence by reading its words. It describes the sentence as a whole.
To improve sentence structure, you can try varying sentence lengths, mixing up sentence types (simple, compound, complex), using transitional words, and ensuring subject-verb agreement. Additionally, revising for clarity and coherence, and avoiding run-on sentences and excessive use of conjunctions can also help in improving sentence structure. Reading your writing out loud can also help identify any awkward or unclear sentences that need revision.
