Silver Linings
Whether famous for a fight to the death or for film performances, both Katniss and Lawrence struggle as celebrities. "I'm surrounded by people all the time, and then it can be so lonely when all of a sudden everybody goes. Then I have to remind myself it's just being alone, it's not lonely."
While filming The Hunger Games, Lawrence met a young girl who proudly shared Katniss' nickname - "the Girl on Fire." The girl was covered in burn scars.
"That was the first time in my entire career that I actually felt like there was a point in this." In a similar way, Katniss finds that she has become a symbol of hope to people in need. Now the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation supports organizations such as the Special Olympics and Make a Wish.
Today, Lawrence is also the star of another big series (X-Men) and an Oscar winner for Silver Linings Playbook. Now, with Mockingjay's release, everyone is eagerly waiting to see what the Girls on Fire do next.

Teaching Topic: Is It Really Famous? 真的有名嗎？
famous 有名的
一間有名的餐廳叫做 famous restaurant?
其實不能這樣講,
在英文裡, famous 指的是世界聞名的,
例如: 自由女神是famous, lady gaga是famous
但你家附近的牛肉麵店不能用famous,
even 這家店每天都大排長龍,
在英文裡可以用 popular (受歡迎的), well-known (出名的)
That's a popular restaurant.
That's a well-known restaurant.
