INAPPROPRIATE MEMORIZED LANGUAGE

In the IELTS exam, many candidates use memorized words, phrases and 'clichΓ©s' in unnatural situations.

This will adversely affect your score. This is because IELTS expects you to be natural.

It expects you to use a word or phrase naturally.

Hence IDP IELTS advises you not to use the following in the exam:

❌ Controversial topic / hot topic
❌ Two-edged sword / double-edged sword/2 sides/faces of a coin
❌ In a nutshell
❌ I pen down by saying
❌ There are pros and cons
❌ This essay will discuss
❌ Reasons why I hold this view
❌ This is a highly controversial/is a highly debated issue
❌ Proverbs or clichés - 'old is gold'
