When talking about various aspects of a situation, "一方面..., (另)一方面..." (yī fāngmiàn..., (lìng) yī fāngmiàn...) can be used in a similar way that "On one hand..., on the other hand..." is in English.
Here's the basic structure:
一方面 + Aspect 1 + (另)一方面 + Aspect 2
The two aspects in the sentence can both be similar in tone, or as it is more common in English, they can be in direct opposition of each other.
- 他 一 方面 真 喜欢 这 个 公司，另 一 方面 又 觉得 工资 太 低 了。
- 他一 方面很 想 创业，另一 方面 又 担心 风险 太 大。
- 开发 太阳能 一 方面 可以减少污染 一 方面可以 缓解 能源 紧张。
