Can I use the "firstly" in a paragraph twice?

Can I use this structure in an article?

"Main idea" (first paragraph)

“Firstly, state main argument. Two reasons: Firstly……secondly……” （second paragraph）

"Secondly, state main argument. Two reasons: Firstly……secondly……” (third paragraph)

I mean can I use the "Firstly" in a paragraph twice?

Is it strange?

Thanks.

I wouldn't. I am sure you can find other ways of expressing your ideas giving them some sort of priority.

Frankly, I would not be inclined to ever use "firstly".

I know, but it's a test.

It seems this kind of structure can help you get a high score.
