按个人理解,从句中的代词如果是指代主语,一般是予以省略的,例如:
John likes learning English, but he hates playing games. (he一般是省略的吧)
John likes learning English, but hates playing games. (这样更通顺吧)
通常说John does A, and does B.
不会说John does A, and he does B.

目前还没人指点,只能初步总结为:
1) "I do A, and/but do B" 和 "I do A, and/but I do B" 均可
2) 在没有其它错误的情况下,省略主语代词可避免wordy
