was, the fact that inside the restroom on all the floors the accessible toilets for people in need were locked. I believe that those issues should be addressed as soon as possible, and I would like to suggest to you as the manager, to purchase a ramp that will be placed on all staircases to prevent mishaps like

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
