Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question, but lacks depth and detail. Consider exploring the meaning of your name more thoroughly, perhaps researching its origins and cultural significance. Elaborating on personal connections to the name would also strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. There is a slight stumble in the beginning ('I can't remember what's the meaning...'), but it quickly recovers. Minor repetition could be avoided for a higher score. Consider smoother transitions between ideas.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The use of 'showing power and domination' is a bit simplistic; more sophisticated vocabulary could be used to describe a king's attributes. Consider synonyms like 'exerting authority' or 'wielding influence'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly correct, but there's a grammatical error ('what's the meaning of my name'). The sentence structure is simple. More complex grammatical structures would improve the score. For example, instead of 'It is said that...', consider a more concise phrasing like 'The former king was reputed to be...' or 'The former king was known for his...'.
