The definition is that work is done when a force moves through a distance. Heat has to be removed from water to make it freeze (even if it starts as water at 0 degrees and ends as ice at 0 degrees) but no actual work is done in the process.
However, because the water expands when it turns into ice some of it moves slightly. Therefore a small amount of work is, in fact, done.

Is work being done when someone is typing a letter?
Yes it is being done, if the person doing it is doing it as part of a paid job or because they run a business and the letter is needed for the business. If it is being typed for school it may also be considered work, but of a different kind. And from the view of physics, since energy is being expended by the person typing, and perhaps by the machinery being used, work is being done. However, if you are at work and typing a letter to your grandmother, that is not the kind of work you are being paid for and your employer would say work is not being done.
