下周五要交论文，这周二要交工作报告，下个月1号要考试了……好像我们的生活中总是有这样那样的“期限”。于是大家都努力赶在期限前完成该做的事。可是人都是有惰性的，就难免有“拖拖拉拉”的毛病。今天我们就来学学关于“最后期限”和“拖拉”的表达。
1. The report is due on Friday / this coming Friday. 这个报告这周五要交。
Note: If you're talking about the end of the current week on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, "on Friday" is OK. But, if you're referring to Friday on a Saturday or Sunday, "this coming Friday" is clearer than "next Friday".
