IELTS essay, topic: Nowadays many people choose ready-made food and refuse to cook at home, why and what are the advantages/disadvantages? Nowadays many people choose ready-made food and refuse to cook at home. Why do you think it happens? What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a choice?

I would like to talk about my younger sister Dasha. I was a little shocked when my parents told me that I would have a sister at the age of 21. I heard that late-born children are weak and diseased often. But everything was all right and she was born healthy. Now she is 3 years old and we can watch for her character. She is a very kind and smart child, but sometimes she is a bit of a pain for her parents. I think, she already knows how to manipulate.
For example
, if nobody turns on the desired cartoon, she will cry out loud. So, we can already see that she is a little bit stubborn and a wilful person. Sometimes she is arrogant with other people, but I guess that it is not on a purpose. It looks like a childish way of showing her displeasure. Now it sounds like she is a monster. But I make a conclusion from my parent's stories. When they talk about her behaviour they like to complain. Actually, she is a charming and pretty girl. She is admired by all her relatives and
firstly
by me. Everyone believes that she will grow up and become a beautiful, smart and strong woman.
