Keywords
When you want to say that some of a group is doing one thing while others are doing another, you can use 有的 (yǒude) to express it.
Structure
All you need to do is put "有的 (yǒude)" before the subject of each of the clauses in the sentence. If there is already some context, you can omit the subject, and the "有的 (yǒude)" can just mean "some" instead of "some of something".
有的 + (Subject) + Predicate, 有的 + (Subject) + Predicate
Also, you aren't limited to just two "有的 (yǒude)"s in the sentence. You can have multiple groups doing different things, and just precede them with a "有的 (yǒude)" each time.
