Hi, Heba. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. My sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you. Jonathan.
*The word, me, is an object pronoun, so it comes at the end, after the verb, as in your fourth sentence (She likes to wear… like me). Whenever you have a compound subject (My uncle and I, My wife and I, etc.), each part should make sense separately (e.g., My uncle likes pineapple, or, I like pineapple). We would never say, Me like pineapple. Remember this rule and you will never get this wrong again.
“one hundred pound” – I assume is British currency. One pound would be singular, but one hundred of them needs to be plural. It is the same with dollar/dollars, and most other currencies (but I do know the Thai baht does not take an “s” for the plural form…).
“She likes to wear a yellow dress like me vs. She likes wearing a yellow dress like me.” – Both are acceptable with no difference in meaning.
“neighbor vs. neighbour” – Both are acceptable depending on your audience. The former is the preferred American spelling, while the latter is the preferred British spelling.
As to the last sentences, they are grammatically correct. However, since you are comparing your apartment to your neighbor’s, I feel it better to join them together via a comma, as well as to use the comparative form, thus, narrower. IMHO, it sounds and reads better. Similarly, it sounds and reads better if we reverse the adjectives (e.g., My apartment is narrow, but my neighbor’s apartment is wider). Others might disagree…
Finally, do not leave a space before a period. It is an ending punctuation mark.
