Better avoid using these IELTS writing clichés

Our students are earnestly requested not to use the following words, phrases, usages and expressions.

We would like our students to be different in their own ways so that their writing papers would fetch a different score. Please remember, your being able to be yourselves with your language is what matters most.

Never ever copy, replicate or reproduce expressions, rather write differently every time. I repeat, write differently every time.

The following words and expressions have rendered the lives of ILETS examiners with untold miseries. So better give them a little breather by writing differently.
