Please help me. I have a assignment, which is writing a "short essay". I am not good at writing, and the topic is " the best gift you received"

Well think about a birthday present you've received in the past. once you think of a present that you remember really enjoying ( or still enjoy) just start talking about why it was your favorite and why you chose this gift as the one that was your favorite. You could start by saying something like "... was my favorite gift because I used it a lot and it gave me something to do in my free time. The reason "..." was my favorite gift is because ...

It's easier once you've got a gift to write about.

Explanation:

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
