My daily paragraphs

Daily paragraphs. Thursday  4/18/12 I had just won the bid for the RC truck, Traxxis rustler vxl that goes 70 mph!  It drives well on off-road.  It costed $270! I earn money buy doing workbook and reading books. Now I have to finish some more workbooks to open that awesome truck. My dad doesn't understand that I don’t have to do such overwhelming work. I already finished two exercise books and a many other things. I am very close to earning points but not quite there yet! Recently, he even made 1 dollar worth half a dollar. This means my dad is making me work twice as hard. So if I want a 100-dollar thing I have to have 200 dollars in my account.  I do all this stuff and get so little money!  This is not I fair.  I  so  deserve that truck now!  Friday  4/18/12             I was going to have a playdate with my best...
My Personal Motto By Arjun Agrawal                         There are many mottoes people like to follow, but I like to follow one. When you are losing don’t give up. This motto is important to me, for 2 reasons:             People who play games a lot are very good. But if you try a new game you start out very bad. Obviously you will lose in competitions against other people. If you give up on that game, you probably will not try again. You will never practice and will get even worse at the game and never win. Instead you should keep on trying and you will get better and better. Soon you will be able to achieve your goal.             Secondly, if you start to give up, you will start to give up even more on things. This means you have many games but lose in all...

What I love about San Jose!

By Arjun Agrawal             San Jose is a big populated city. I love San Jose for the following three reasons: It has a comfortable climate. San Jose has many good educational institutes, Lastly San Jose is mostly crime free.             Of all the cities San Jose has one of the best climates. San Jose is comfortably warm and cold. The temperatures are 60-85 degrees! Rarely it is harshly warm or cold.              San Jose have many good universities like San Jose State University and Santa Clara university. But San Jose is only ten miles away from a great university, Stanford. It is also close to other great universities like university of California Berkeley and University of California San Francis...

What I want to become when I grow up.

Intro When I grow up I want to become something that will help me change the world. There are many career options that I like to consider: an engineer, a doctor, an architect, or a college teacher. Engineer Why you want to become engineer I want to be a mechanical/chemical engineer to help make cars more fuel-efficient. I want to do that by adding solar panels that are lighter and efficient.  What will you do when you do? Engineers are creating many fuel-inefficient cars. They are reducing the weight and making them have more aerodynamic shapes. But they don't add solar panels to produce energy as they increase weight of the car.  I will create solar panels that are very light and dense in producing energy. I will add these solar panels to the cars others make. How will that change the world? Cars contribute to 40% of the CO2 pollution. These solar panels will reduce the CO2 pollution by 10%. This will reduce our energ...

If I Inherited Ten Billion Dollars!

By Arjun Agrawal Introduction I wanted a PS3 game console really badly but I just didn’t have enough money. My dad made me write essays to earn money, which was really hard work.  Still I didn’t have enough money to buy the game. So I decided to take a big chance and I bought California lottery ticket.  I was really anxious for results that would come the next day. The next morning my dad came screaming in a happy voice and cried that I won the lottery of ten billion dollars!! I was so happy that I was going to faint. (I actually did) My name was on the newspaper and the TV news. I was the new famous Richi Rich. The first thing I did was to buy 100 video games and played with these games for hours and days. Surprisingly, I got bored in a month of continuous gaming. So I bought a fancy mansion 50,000 square feet in the Saratoga hills. I bought 4 nice fancy cars of all kind: Nissan leaf, new Tesla model S, Lamborghini, and a Nissan skyline. My dad to...

Arjun the android

Who are you?   Hello my name is Arjun. And have 2 parents and 2 little brothers. When did you find out? When I was a kid, my youngest brother was playing with a knife. I was worried that he might hurt himself. So I went to take the knife away but instead he accidentally cut my hand off!!! I saw robotic parts in my hand I was scared and confused. I told my dad all about this. It turned out that he was trying to hide this secret that I was an android!! How do you feel? Then I knew that I was not like my two younger brothers. This made me very angry with my dad. He tried to pacify me. He said that he doesn’t feel any different about me than other two of his other sons. He loves me as much. He emphasized that I have many advantages of being a machine like getting my hand replaced. My dad took me to a walmart store to buy a replacement hand for me. I saw many other robot children getting new body parts. I couldn’t believe that I could get my hand replaced. It felt as my old hand. An...
The Making of Fuel-efficient Car By Arjun Agrawal. Introduction I want to explore ways to increase fuel-efficiency of the car to reduce the environmental impact. When cars drive most of the energy is wasted in heat and only 30% of energy is used to move the car. There are several ways in which cars can be made fuel-efficient including reducing weight, increasing aerodynamics, changing the type of fuel, fast refueling, finding energy dense batteries, reducing battery degradation, and reducing the cost of battery materials. Weight Cars are made of metals such as steel that are heavy to be strong and hard. This makes the car protect the human being from getting hurt in an accident. But the weight of the car takes more energy to push it forward making the car fuel inefficient. We have to use lighter materials that are strong. There are the following materials we can use: ·         Aluminum:  Aluminum is reasonably strong and light.  Aluminum ...
