此類結(jié)構(gòu)是雙邊傾向性結(jié)構(gòu),是雙邊結(jié)構(gòu)中的一種。對大多數(shù)中國學生來說,雙邊結(jié)構(gòu)較單邊結(jié)構(gòu)最大的優(yōu)點是論證過程比較容易擴展。雙邊論證指正文兩段分別論述下兩個觀點或優(yōu)缺點。
可以做一個有趣的比喻,托福寫作中雙邊論證的結(jié)構(gòu)就像是在打一場官司,引言段引出話題,可以看作是書記員來宣布審理的案件,正文兩段分別是兩個觀點,可以理解為被告和原告的辯護律師來列舉對自己有利的證據(jù),結(jié)尾段得出觀點,即法官在總結(jié)了被告原告律師的發(fā)言后,得出自己的答案,同意哪一方,是否定罪。

上述結(jié)構(gòu)中的supporting sentences在議論文中的體現(xiàn)方式是一些論證方法,如舉例子(exemplification),對比對照(contrast& comparison),列數(shù)據(jù)(raising figures),讓步(making concession)等來對自己支持的觀點進行論證,使考官信服。
