Dear teachers, I've realized that quite often in most of your tests when you want to indicate a vehicle able to carry goods, you use the American word "truck" instead of the English word "lorry". So, my question is this : perhaps is the term "lorry" obsolete and we must not use any more it ? Thanks in advance for your answer

No, not at all. 'Lorry' is still very much British English, but our test writers come from both sides of the Atlantic.

Dear Mr. Micawber, thanks for your short but clear answer. By the way, let me again to congratulate with your excellent teachers's team that allow this website to be, according with my very modest opionion, the greatest and the most valid "English on line course" of the whole "internet word", due to your very high professional preparation and due to your great availability in order to follow every "web English learner". I hope you'll always continue in this way.
