Paired conjunctions as a conveyor of coordination in a complex sentence

A conjunction is a word or expression that acts as a transition between clauses and phrases in a complex sentence. For example: "不但……而且……" (not only … but also …), "如果……就……" (if… then…), and "总而言之" (all in all), where the first clause or phrase is connected to the following clause or phrase by a conjunction.
The paired conjunctions such as "又……又……","一面……一面……","不是……而是……","既……又……",“一边……边……” and “……还……” are used to show coordination in sentence.

e.g. (1)他又抽烟,又喝酒。 (2)他一边吃饭,一边看电影。 (3)他不是学生,而是老师。 (4)他乱丢纸屑,还随地吐痰。 (5)他既爱吃水果,又爱吃蔬菜。
