Newest, Most Important Skill

The most important skill that I've learned this year would have to be... TWIST. It is so simple but the concept of it isn't just memorization like most other things. One actually has to put it to use in order to imprint it in one's mind, and it just brings out the structure of the book/poem. TWIST has had the biggest impact in English because everything I had learned until this year had been easily understandable in some way, but TWIST actually made me use my head at first instead of grasping it in the first 20/30 seconds. My thought processes actually had me reading the assignment paper over and over until I finally could comprehend it to some extent, then when I actually understood the whole thing I started using it bit by bit subconsciously (I just recognized it recently). This is a very useful tool for my development in English and I hope there will be better tools just like this, except easier to understand at first.
