difference Help understanding the differences between sentencesmore than/about and most/all of

I am very confused when doing homework because there are four sentences which are really alike but my teacher said that they are different and iI still don't understand why . The first one : "more than three-fourths of the world's mail is written in English" and "About three-fourths of the world's mail is written in English".

  1. "More than three-fourths of the world's mail is written in English"
  2. "About three-fourths of the world's mail is written in English".

I think that they are the same  . And another 2two sentences that make me really confused  : "Most other languages have borrowed English words" and "All of the the other languages have borrowed English words'.  

  1. "Most other languages have borrowed English words."
  2. "All of the the other languages have borrowed English words'.
