Thanks to you, Nugso, for your reply!
How about #1, 2, and 4? Of #4, is it a correct sentence and does it convey the idea given in the bracket, please?
Also, would there be any difference in the meaning of these, please?
- You look like a fool.
- You look like a fool to me.
Thank you once again.

I, as a non-native speaker, see no problem with #1, #2. However I'd leave out the "to you" part in the fourth sentence. It appears to be unnecessary.

Thank you again, Nugso, for putting your views as a non-native speaker. Now let's see what natives say on this.

Here's what I would say:
1) He is one of David's brother's friends.
2) He is a friend of David's brother. (some might insist that you add an 's to "brother" -- I wouldn't)
3) What do you look like when you are angry?
4) How do I look to you?
5) You bear a close resemblance to your mother.
6) You resemble your mother.
- You look like a fool. (presu
