Correct.  That's what template method pattern is about: you have a
method which gives the overall structure and sub classes fill in only
missing methods (which would be abstract in a language like Java).

Yes, of course.  Since there was no concrete hint I chose thread
synchronization as a (hopefully) well known pattern.
