I'm not good with this stuff, but I'd try summarizing the paper for your closing paragraph. End with a sentence like, "That's why I love summer vacation" if it's about why you like summer vacation. I hope that makes sense!
An independent clause is a sentence or part of one that can stand alone.
So I have a feeling that the first one is correct as "My sister and I love to cook" and "we spend hours cooking together" can both stand alone yet are joined by a semicolon.
I hope this has helped

In what way ? And what king ?
<span>The ruler likes him so much that he needs Gulliver to wed one of his little girls. Gulliver's stopover in Luggnagg is the aftereffect of a bureaucratic mess. He's not permitted to leave the island until the point that he has gotten official authorization to do as such in the wake of meeting with the Luggnaggian King, so Gulliver employs a translator and does only that. This current King's conduct is yet another case of the sort of irregular remorselessness an excess of energy rouses in a man.</span>
