Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer directly, then explain whose bike you used and when. Replace the unnatural phrase “I was having” with “I used,” and avoid repeating the idea of using the bike from childhood. You can also omit fillers such as “uh” and “umm” to sound more fluent.

Example: I didn’t have a bike of my own as a child, so I used my older brother’s. I rode it quite often when I was growing up. I eventually bought my own bike when I became an adult.

Suggestion: Give a clear answer and support it with a specific reason or example. “Popular” sounds more natural than “famous” here, and you can remove the fillers and avoid repeating “they are.” Check the model name as well: Royal Enfield and KTM Duke are separate brands, so name the intended model accurately. If “bikes” in the question means bicycles, clarify that you are talking about motorcycles.

Example: Yes, motorcycles are very popular in my country, especially among commuters and motorcycle enthusiasts. Many people choose them because they are stylish and convenient for getting around. Some models are also relatively affordable to maintain.

× I didn't have my own bike, rather I was having my elder brother's bike.

✓ I didn't have my own bike; instead, I used my elder brother's bike.

Use the simple past 'used' for a completed past situation. 'Have' meaning possess or own is generally not used in the progressive form 'was having'.

× I used to use that from my childhood.

✓ I used it throughout my childhood.

'From my childhood' is not the natural prepositional phrase for describing an activity over the whole period of childhood. 'Throughout my childhood' clearly means that you used the bike during that period. Also, 'it' is more natural than 'that' when referring to the bike already mentioned.
