Hi Mehrad,

Idioms and proverbs are more commonly used in spoken English rather than academic writing but you could include them if you thought it was relevant to the context. However, you should not try and use them simply as an attempt to impress the examiner and you should definitely not overuse them because this would be an unnatural use of language.

Kind regards,

Jenny
