to express … suggesting 點解錯?
✗ 你會咁寫
I am writing to express my views and suggesting ways to improve the situation.
✓ 應該係
I am writing to express my views and to suggest ways to improve the situation.
因為前面用咗「to express」,後面應該用「to suggest」保持平行結構 (Parallel structure),令句子讀落更流暢對稱。

點解你會咁寫
中文「寫信表達意見同建議方法」兩邊唔使對稱都通順,英文唔得。寫完一句有 and 嘅句,養成習慣望返 and 左右兩邊:形式一唔一樣?

再睇多兩個例子
✗ She likes reading, writing and to draw.
✓ She likes reading, writing and drawing.
✗ The plan is cheap, effective and it saves time.
✓ The plan is cheap, effective and time-saving.
