No, chengyu are just 4 word sayings that brighten up your essays and language :)

Yeah they're one of the best ways to impress the examiners and improve your marks :D

Use it, but more importantly, use it in the right context. If not, it sounds really awkward and instead of rewarding you, it becomes your worst nightmare.

Agreed :P
It's gotta fit neatly :)

Basically I'm not too sure whether or not 成语 should be used in general conversation. I've seen some people use it but isn't the general conversation meant to be quite informal?
