 Yes, everything has two parts positive and negative. He said his teacher was very strict and he was suffered from him. That suffered made him more labors. After that, he was success in his French language .

Yes, the writer provides a conclusion about abuse and hard work is two side of each coin. First, writer was suffered from his teacher and that made him hard to learn the French language.
