работа , труд, задание (работать, трудиться)


Explanation:
work - работа, труд (do tno mix with labo(u)r, e.g. классная/домашняя работа = class/home work); труд (домашний), результат действия силы (физ.), etc.
verb work (without additions, as work out, work around, etc.) - работать (I work at office - работаю в офисе), трудиться (I work with papers - тружусь над бумагами), функционировать (this elevator works well - этот лифт хороша функционирует, his heart does not work! - у него сердце не бьется!), etc.

work as задание, обязанность also appears in some places: it's not my work! - мне этого не задавали! я этого делать не должен!

Moreover, the exact translation might cause rather serious difficulties in literature. Consult www.lingvo.ru and www.multitran.ru
