Về cách trình bày dạng bài này giống với dạng Ad & Disad. Điểm khác là ở khổ 3 khi bàn về Disad, được trình bày dưới dạng Counter Argument tức là bạn đưa ra khía cạnh khác của vấn đề. Sau đó đưa ra quan điểm của mình để phủ định nó. Sau đó đưa ra Example để thêm thuyết phục. Phần kết luận ngoài các câu vô thưởng vô phạt, bạn phải đưa ra quan điểm của mình cho vấn đề đó.

Cách 2
Intro
Para 1 : Ad A + Disad B

Conclusion : Both side considered, it is hard to say whether one should prioritise both side topic. Hoặc sử dụng conclusion của Ad và Disad.

Bạn kẻ 2 cột (agree vs disagree/ad vs disad) và viết tất cả các idea bạn có thể nghĩ ra dù là nó vô dụng nhất. Sau đó lồng các nhóm idea có vẻ giống nhau lại, paraphrase chúng.
