one more question: can v use words such as (shouldn't, couldn't, we'll) instead of their expanded forms.?
how will these words be counted? nd will it show more of informal tone than formal?

You can write a story. It is an open topic so you won't be penalized.

Contractions can only be used in dialogues, and they will be counted as two words (shouldn't will be counted as should and not.)
Do not use contractions in any other part of your paper as you will be penalized!!

i also learned that discursive topics r the ones in which v introduce the given topic. but redspot always treats them as a story....

Please don't rely on the redspot answers!! If you aren't sure or are still in doubt do go through some marking schemes.

It depends...sometimes the one word essays are such that both an informative essay and a story can be written over them for e.g 'Jealousy' but sometimes the topic restricts you to write an informative essay over it for e.g 'Exercise'
