Clocks of all shapes and sizes covered the wall. The wall was a light beige color with the texture of wood. Old posters and mirrors, in mint condition, were also placed on the wall. The room had a musky smell to it. There were several pictures of the family of a woman, placed on a glass coffee table. Next to the coffee table there was a desk painted a charcoal black. On the right most end of the desk there was a hand embroidered handkerchief. Behind the desk sat an elderly lady. She wore a white jacket and a pearl necklace. She had small, round glasses over her eyes and her hair was a light shade of orange. She had a reminiscent look on her face and was deeply lost in thought.

A story using 5 vocabulary words:

veritable, hypocrite, cello, connoisseur, sceptical

“A school orchestra,” Evan said skeptically. He was a connoisseur of the cello but doubted that amateurs such as a school orchestra would please him. “Saturday night, 8:10 P.M at the Hudson Lakeside School. Whatever, I’ll go. Besides I don’t have anything else to do.”

On the night of the performance, he wore his favorite suit and striped tie.  As he walked into the auditorium, he still had doubts about the performance. “Humph ...... I wish I had something else to do,” he thought. The auditorium had red walls and the stage was made of wood. All the performers were nicely seated holding their instruments. Among them was a shy boy with orange hair and freckles carrying a cello. Evan thought that this was a good sign as he absolutely loved the cello.

The vice principal gave a long boring speech to begin the performance. When the orchestra began, Evan immediately felt a burst of joy within him. He loved the performance, and especially the cellists. The audience’s excitement was palpable. As they finished, he shouted, “Bravo, it was wonderful.”

While walking out, he met a reporter. “That performance was terrible. What do you think?” the reporter said. “It was not quite up to the standards I expected,” Evans said, not wanting to ruin his reputation as a critic. Now he was a veritable hypocrite.
