Classified Ad project

Question

Hello everybody!

I have an assignment: to make a Spanish classified ad, looking for a paper boy, however, I stumbled upon some problems during the process. Can anyone help me?

1. How do you say "paper boy" in Spanish?
2. If I want to say "Should know how to ride a bike", what tense would I use, and how would that phrase look like?
3. Is there anything special about Spanish Classifieds that I should know about?

Thanks!

Esp.

Answer 1

Paper boy=repartidor de periodicos, the second question I would say, "necesario saber montar en bicicleta", and the last question I´ll make you an example in spanish: Se busca chico repartidor de periódicos, necesario saber montar en bicicleta, puntualidad, buena actitud y presencia. Se ofrece salario según convenio y contrato temporal de 6 meses, con la posibilidad de pasar a contrato fijo. Recuerda, es solo un ejemplo, no lo copies Saludos desde Madrid.

Thanks! :D - espanol5555, Apr 28, 2011

In spain, "contrato fijo" are obsolete words. :-) - carlomp, Apr 28, 2011

no opino lo mismo, se usa mucho (aunque en realidad se llame indefinido) - Peinadin, Apr 28, 2011

¡Estaba bromeando! Era una broma sobre la situación laboral en España. (Si he confundido a alguien pido perdón) - carlomp, Apr 28, 2011

Answer 2

In Spain, that classified could be like the below:

Se busca repartidor de periódicos. Es importante que sepa montar en bicicleta.

Repartidor de periodicos is papper boy.
