- With レポート, it refers to producing the report as a completed piece of work.
- Japanese comfortably says レポート作成 even though English usually says write a report.
2レポート作成が残ってます marks an unfinished task
- 〜が残ってます means something still remains to be done.
3困りましたわ and 〜のに give the line a complaining tone.
- 困りましたわ sounds refined and flustered rather than bluntly upset.
- The sentence-final 〜のに expresses frustration because she still has this obligation hanging over her.
