Excellent. The corrections were small. No big deal.

'on arrival' sounds much more natural to me for this register than 'upon arrival' or 'after arrival'.

'to' is also correct. But 'with' sounds better to me.

This is very good, as always! I think my corrections reflect the register you're writing in better than the other user's (theirs is a little formal/serious). But that's just my opinion.

Can I ask something? What's your main approach for studying writing? Do you work with materials or have a specific method? Your writing's very impressive.

Excellent. I'll give this a try, especially the flashcards for corrections. (Maybe there are some TORFL materials out there that'll help too.)
Thanks so much!

I feel like "expenses" here with no modifier feels empty, so I gave it an adjective to help it along a little bit.

I'm just trying everything. I've passed the official IELTS writing course and started to write on a random topic for 40 minutes. Now I've got a book that focuses on writing essays. While I'm getting through materials, I create flashcards for the sentences I find most interesting. I also make flashcards for corrections.
For this post particularly, I used phrases that already was in the book. Just mixed them a bit :)
