A true friend is there through hard times; when you are sick, weak, or poor. A true friend is always behind you, supporting you in making the right decisions and in taking the right actions at the right time. He uplifts you when you are down, and keeps you up when you reach your goals! In short, a true friend is extremely rare -- when you find him, never let him go ❤️😌❤️ Hi, It just needed a few corrections. :-) Marianne

I find Tandem is a nice language sharing app, and Duolingo and Tiny Cards are good for practicing/learning grammar and vocabulary. Also, Deepenglish.com is a useful website for learning English. Good luck!

Anna gave perfect examples, but, just for fun, I'll add something similar to the first expression: Beauty is only skin deep.

“He praised him a lot yesterday, just as I would if I were his father,” is fine. You can also say, ".... just the way I would if ....." Many people (Americans!) often use "like" incorrectly. But "as" or "the way" for this sentence are both acceptable. And your command of English is better than a lot of native speakers I know. :-D

Just saying "spoon" sounds odd to me, but then I'm American. ;-) You can say things like, "Please spoon some sugar in," using spoon as a verb. However, that doesn't tell a person the specific amount. It could be half a spoonful, it could be four.
