Model Answer
No, I don't use a desktop or laptop keyboard every day. I usually just use my phone for chatting and searching things online. I only use a computer when I have to do something important, like writing a report.
No, I rarely use a desktop or laptop keyboard these days because I do almost everything on my phone. I only turn on my computer when I need to fill out official forms or write a long report, but for daily tasks, my phone is enough.
Grammar Analysis
1. Use of adverbs of frequency: "rarely" is used to describe how often the action happens, which is appropriate for this context. 2. Conditional structure: "when I need to fill out official forms or write a long report" uses a time clause with "when" to specify the situation in which the action occurs.
