My teacups part 4
This time I bought two glass teacups. The cheap one was 300 ml and with a stainless steel filter inside the opening of the cup, the other expensive one was a type of tea-water separation cup.
Inside the lower half of the teacup, there was an isolation valve and people could open or close the valve through revolving the bottom lid to separate or connect the water and the tea leaves.
After I received the expensive glass cup, I suddenly felt if I used it I would feel pain.
Considering that I already had a few teacups, I gave the tea-water separation teacup to my former leader, who helped me a lot when I was young. Of course, he retired years ago.
In the meantime, I thought I should have found a filter for my first insulation teacup on the internet and I regretted very much for not thinking of this idea before I bought the second insulation cup with a filter.
Before long, I found a very nice stainless steel filter on an e-commercial platform and bought it. When I received it, I immediately put it into the opening of my first insulation cup and it fitted the cup so well.
With the accumulation of the experience of using the insulation cups, I also found out how to use an insulation cup to make tea.
The tip was that after you poured the boiling water into your cup, please don't cover your cup lid, except that the water would become cold.
Presently, I won't need to buy more teacups because I already have four cups. Two glass cups and two insulation cups. Three of them are in my office while one of them is in my home.
My teacups, part 4.
TheI bought a cheap one that was 300 ml and with a stainless steel filter inside of the opening of the cup, and the other expensive one was aone was an expensive type of tea-water separation cup.
You didn't clarify before that you were purchasing a cheap one and an expensive so better to clarify beforehand or do it here.
"The other expensive one", implies as though you have two expensive cups, instead of just one.
Inside the lower half of the teacup, there was an isolation valve and peopleyou could open or close the valve through revolving the bottom lid to separate or connect the water and the tea leaves.
I think it would sound better to say 'you' instead of people, as you're just talking in general to the reader.
After I received the expensive glass cup, I suddenly felt if I used it, I would feel pain/it would be a pain.
You would feel pain? How so? Or do you mean it would be a pain? As in a struggle to use. Not sure what you meant here, my apologies
Considering that I already hadve a few teacups, I gave the tea-water separation teacup to my former leader, who helped me a lot when I was young.
In the meantime, I thought I should have foufind a filter for my first insulation teacup on the internet and. I regretted very much for not thinking of this idea before I bought the second insulation cup with a filter.
You are talking about something you want to do in the future so use future tense - I should find
"I regretted very much for not thinking of this idea", sounds unnatural. Usually, people would say "I regret..." And so forth
When I received it, I immediately put it into the opening of my first insulation cup and it fitted the cup so well.
"So well" is a bit more of an informal register compared to the rest of your text. "Well" alone is more formal and suits your formal register here
The tip was thatechnique was after you poureding the boiling water into your cup, please don't cover your cup lid, except thatup the lid, otherwise, the water would become cold.
"Tip" - is usually used when someone gave you a tip or you're giving someone a tip. I would use "technique" instead
"Please" is unneeded here as well
You clarified it was a cup before so you can just use 'lid' alone
Presently, I wdon't need to buy more teacups because I already have four cups.
You expressed in the first word that this is set in the present - so use the present tense - I do not
No need to repeat 'cup' as well
Three of them are in my office, while one of them is in myat home.
Prepositions - at/in/on
Usually, we say things and people are at home rather than in.
Also, no need to say 'my home' because you are talking from a 1st person's perspective :3 just home will do
Feedback
I think this is the best piece of writing from the bunch you posted recently about teacups. Very well done! Just focus on prepositions, articles (when to use definite/indefinite), and sticking to tenses (past/present/future) and you will write as smoothly as a native speaker! Impressive work, keep it up! :3

Prepositions, articles and tenses. Thank you very much. I will keep writing.

I am a frugal person. If I use expensive items or are luxurious, I would feel I shouldn't do so. In Chinese, we will say 我舍不得用这么贵得东西, but I don’t know how to express it in English.

Have=present tense
Gave=past tense
Different tenses in the same sentence, why? Thank you very much.

I don’t know why you changed “regretted” to the present tense. Thank you very much.

I can't bear to use something so expensive / I'm not used to this kind of luxury.
You can say either of these things :3

Have=present tense Gave=past tense Different tenses in the same sentence, why? Thank you very much.
Because you already had those few teacups, before you gave away the other teacups so you need some separation in tenses to let the reader know one thing happened before another at a point in time.
I hope this makes sense. It is very tricky for me to explain

I don’t know why you changed “regretted” to the present tense. Thank you very much.
Because it fits the flow of the sentence better and also, as humans, we hold regret from the moment we regret something until we die usually. Because we cannot go back and relive the past

Thank you very much
