Hi Liana,

Watching wouldn't fit here because there is no object. Looking relaxed means having the appearance of a relaxed person.

Hi
I am now trying to translate few of your splendid tests into
Esperanto (everything for kids)
and became a bit confused with "Andrew who did hand ring to himself " Is it English joke? I mean humor.
I know No 1 imperator is seriously pissed off but maybe
