Key concept — Using idiomatic language does not mean using expressions like, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” You’ll almost never find a natural way to incorporate idioms like this in your responses. This example of figurative language is fun to learn, but it won’t help your score to study these expressions as a strategy. However, idiomatic language includes everyday collocations (word combinations), and thus using vocabulary, including low-frequency academic words, appropriately will raise your score.
