IELTS & TOEFL Writing: How to Use Idiomatic Language for a Better Score
Good writing is not just about grammar and academic vocabulary. A well-written essay, like what’s needed on the IELTS and TOEFL, also includes idiomatic language. This means idioms, but also collocations and phrasal verbs. Many students believe that adding idiomatic language to their essays will impress examiners, but this can actually hurt your score if you use it incorrectly or too often. The key is to know these expressions’ meaning, contextual uses, and level of formality. Then you can decide how to use this language effectively in your IELTS/TOEFL essay, or other writing – when it’s appropriate.
