Using "more" after the phrase "I like (something)" means that the person speaking enjoys this thing more than whatever else was mentioned.
e.g.
Aさん:Do you like crab?
Bさん:Crab is okay but I like shrimp more.
Saying "I prefer shrimp" almost the exact same meaning. The word "prefer" refers to that person's personal preference.
e.g.
Aさん:I always like to jog when I need to exercise.
Bさん:I prefer riding my bicycle. Jogging hurts my knees.
"I like (物)"というフレーズの後に "more"を使うと、話している人がすでに述べたものよりもそのことをより楽しむという意味になります。
【例文】
Aさん:Do you like crab?(カニは好き?)
Bさん:Crab is okay but I like shrimp more.(カニはまぁまぁだけど、エビはもっと好き)
"I prefer shrimp"というのは、ほとんど同じ意味です。"prefer"という単語はその人の個人的な好みを指しています。
【例文】
Aさん:I always like to jog when I need to exercise.(運動しなきゃいけないときはいつも走ることが好きです)
Bさん:I prefer riding my bicycle. Jogging hurts my knees.(私は自転車に乗る方が好きです。ジョギングは膝が痛いので)
