3 Beers...?

We had a class with other GEAP class students today, and we played a game called "Chinese Whispering". This game is a kind of communication game. I made a mistake in this game.

The correct answer was "Last night, I went to see a movie, and the title of a movie was 'G.... and 3 Bears'."
But I told to my classmate, "Last night I went to see a movie, the title was 'Golden Night (Knight?) and 3 Beers'".

I couldn't understand this title. I imagined that people drink, eat a feast and dance at the party. I thought it was a strange movie.


After all, I couldn't hear the correct title, so I asked to my classmate.
He said to me when a teacher told us the title, he heard "Godzilla and 3 Bears".
I agreed with him first, because I heard the word something similar to Godzilla.

Godzilla? A monster??

It's wrong. It's impossible. 3 bears can't beat Godzilla.

I need to practice listening more and more...
My listening skill is really bad...

Please tell me the correct title and contents of the movie.


Tomorrow, I have a presentation.
I'm not good at speaking in front of people, but I'll try my best.

Hi Taku,
I agree with Andy and I really enjoyed your topic. Remember to send him a postcard!

The title of the movie was "Goldilocks and the three bears". However, this is not really a movie but rather the title of a children's fairy tale but I thought it would be funny to use as a film title-- and it was, right?
Good luck with your indoor soccer. My son also plays indoor soccer on Sundays. Are you a fan of Wayne Rooney?

Good to be in Australia and to have a lot of opportunity to practise listening.

Thank you!

Your presentation was also very good.
After I go back to Japan, I'll watch Jackie's movies.

Thank you for your comment.

I asked my host family about "Goldilocks". I made a mistake, but I enjoy Chinese Whispering.

I think Rooney is one of the greatest players, but his mental needs to develop. I expect his future.

Yes, I think daily life is a good opportunity to practice English.Talking to host family, classmates, teachers... These things are important.
