托福寫作鎮魂句，是你做寫作題目的強心劑！
下定義，在我們的托福寫作中是一個格外好用的“出字”技巧，特別是對于看到作文題目后一籌莫展、不知從何寫起的同學，又或是每次都徘徊在獨立300字數線的盆友。
如果你能夠記下幾個（獨立作文題目涉及的）常用主題概念的定義，考試時只要能夠用到某個已經背下來了的定義句，嘩啦嘩啦幾下打出來，看到屏幕上的一兩行、三四行文字，自然心里就踏實了許多。所以，這樣直接拉出來可以用的句子就被稱為“鎮魂句”了。
今天，太譜君為大家整理了部分托福獨立題目常涉及到的概念，并根據難易程度給出的定義，同學們都可以背下來在托福寫作考試中用來“鎮魂”。
在托福獨立寫作的“下定義”這個技巧，其實不論是開頭，還是主體段落都可以使出這招，如果用的得當，那效果還是很贊的，同時還能用來有效填充文章內容，增加有效字數。
在整理以下定義時，采取的是“用戶友好型”：常用、好懂、好記、難易適中。這些定義句的整理參考了英文詞典、百科等資料的解釋作為參考，同時刪去了許多太過于技術化和學術化的描述，進行了必要的調整以及改寫之。還有些比較難找到的“接地氣”或“托福化”解釋的定義句，就只好自己動手、豐衣足食地“創造”了。
往下看就是定義句的目錄，紅色的部分就是這些常用概念名詞（如“科技、Technology” ），后面的句子就是我們用來“鎮魂”的常用概念定義。每一個定義句后，還有這句或許可以采用的獨立作文題目例子，它們都來源于近期托福機經，極其具有實用性。
