Think about how you can use idioms to help make your essay or speaking more captivating. Although you may have learned what an idiom is it is imperative to be cautious with its use. Nearly every idiom can still be harmful to your IELTS band score if it is not selected well and properly used.

In picking an idiom, it is imperative to precisely know its meaning. More importantly, choose the ones that are appropriate for the context. For example, in the Academic Writing task, it would be unwise to use recreational idioms such as those under the group of “daily-life idioms”. One more factor to take into account is the theme or topic question you are answering. What idea would you like to stress or highlight? It is only when you can inject an idiom adequately into a particular part of your speech or the essay that idioms should be utilized. 

Use of these well-chosen idioms is another essential factor. The answer goes back to a test of ease and genuineness. Use an idiom to expand upon an idea rather then further complicating it, or worse, making it more vague. Also, be natural, and do not use a range of idioms as if the task is to show off how many idioms you know.  It’s worth remembering that a normal conversation is not scripted.
