Title: The Haunted PaintingLevel: Intermediate (B1)


#Story :

Lara, a part-time worker at an old art gallery, never believed in the rumors about The Lady of Shadows painting—until one night, the painting came to life. The lady in the painting calls Lara by name and reveals that she is cursed and trapped within the painting. She gives Lara a key and tells her that the only way to escape the gallery’s curse is to unlock a hidden door and release her. As Lara follows the instructions, she realizes too late that she has unleashed something far darker than she imagined. In a final desperate act, Lara uses her strength to stop the curse and trap the lady once again, breaking the curse that bound the gallery. But as she leaves, Lara wonders if the curse is truly gone or if it still lingers, waiting for the next person to fall into its trap.
