A parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance and to help the reader comprehend what is being written. It is grammatically correct to ensure that phrases, clauses and items on a list after a colon use the correct parallel structure. Ill give u some examples of parallel structure.. So U can revise that sentence.. Joe likes singing, walking and diving. This is correct and uses parallel structure. An incorrect version of this sentence would read: Joe likes singing, walking and to dive. Mary wanted to make sure that she made her presentation creatively, effectively and persuasively. This is correct and uses parallel structure. An incorrect version of this sentence would read: Mary wanted to make sure she made her presentation creatively, effectively and persuaded others.

Instead of saying "and" towards the end of your sentence use what @lauluisa gave you. She gave you a perfect example. So your sentence is an actual easy one. I am talented at writing, sports, and playing music.
