D&D 5e professions

I'm currently playing in a D&D 5e game with a DM who is relatively new to D&D. He has started creating his own rules for professions, and when I reviewed them I noticed that they were extremely similar to the actual D&D 5e rules. I therefore rectified his text and sent it back to him. The image here is the first draft, and below is the second draft with my corrections.

Downtime (page 127 in the Dungeon Master’s Guide)
The campaign benefits when characters have time between adventures to engage in other activities. Allowing days, weeks, or months to pass between adventures stretches the campaign over a longer period of time and helps to manage the characters’ level progression, preventing them from gaining too much power too quickly.
Allowing characters to pursue side interests between adventures also encourages players to become more invested in the campaign world. When a character owns a tavern in a village or spends time carousing with the locals, that character’s player is more likely to respond to threats to the village and its inhabitants.
As your campaign progresses, your players’ characters will not only become more powerful but also more influential and invested in the world. They might be inclined to undertake projects that require more time between adventures, such as building and maintaining a stronghold. As the party gains levels, you can add more downtime between adventures to give characters the time they need to pursue such interests. Whereas days or weeks might pass between low-level adventures, the amount of downtime between higher-level adventures might be measured in months or years.

Crafting Magic Items (small excerpt from page 129 in the Dungeon Master’s Guide)

An item has a creation cost specified in the Crafting Magic Item table. A character engaged in the crafting of a magic item makes progress in 25 gp increments, spending that amount for each day of work until the total cost is paid. The character is assumed to work for 8 hours each of those days. Thus, creating an uncommon magic item takes 20 days and 500 gp. You are free to adjust the costs to better suit your campaign…

Crafting (small excerpt from page 187 in the Player’s Handbook)

You can craft nonmagical objects, including adventuring equipment and works of art. You must be proficient with tools related to the object you are trying to create. You might also need access to special materials or locations necessary to create it. For example, someone proficient with smith’s tools needs a forge in order to craft a sword or suit of armor…

Practicing a Profession (small excerpt from page 187 in the Player’s Handbook)

You can work between adventures, allowing you to maintain a modest lifestyle without having to pay 1 gp per day. This benefit lasts as long you continue to practice your profession…
