homework assignment什么意思？和homework有什么区别

homework，家庭作业，感觉上就是回家写作业的那种作业；assignment，意思更广一点，很多时候用作任务讲，，也有分配，委派的意思，比较正式的。

homework 指的是学生的家庭作业, 通常是写和读的；
但assignment 基本的意思是别人交付的, 有待完成的工作或任务； 比如老板叫你完成的事也是 assignment,比较正式的用词。

Common homework assignments may include a quantity or period of reading to be performed, writing or typing to be completed, problems to be solved, a school project to be built (such as a diorama or display), or other skills to be practiced.
