Title: The Whispering Paintings in the Art GalleryLevel: Intermediate (B2)


#Story :

Clara, an art enthusiast, visits the new exhibit The Voices of Silence at Oakridge Gallery, known for its haunting and mysterious reputation. Inside, she discovers that each painting seems to whisper, each voice carrying a unique emotion or story. One painting, however, stands out—a woman facing a mirror in a dark room. The whispers urge Clara not to look away, and she feels an intense connection with the figure. After returning the next day, Clara is shocked to see her own reflection beside the woman in the painting, as if she were part of it. The whispers become warnings, echoing in her mind, and she realizes the paintings might be holding trapped souls, and she could be next.
