[lg policy] about idioms and proverbs !

[mostari hind]

Hi all , 
My first year EFL students  asked me whether it is acceptable to use idioms in  their written essays  , what i know is that it is feasible with proverbs but with idioms , do you think it is acceptable for any academic work or even free essay to include idioms to refer to a particular  idea ? 
 
thanks for your answer
