Camera view from an angle behind a man sitting in his office, using his computer with a big screen that can be perfectly seen.
The man is typing (sound fx) a document but the font is too small to be read on the screen. (last 2 seconds)
A new message notification is heard as the computer screen changes to a big message app and shows an incoming message (voice of young lady) "Hello, I need bedroom for 2 months. I'm take English class at Schools of Language.".
The man types on the keyboard for 1 sec then stops and an outgoing message appears under the last (male voice) "It will be a pleasure hosting you."
Another second passes and a new incoming message under (young lady voice) "This good, I arrive weekend. Thank you!"
The man types on the keyboard for 1 sec then stops and an outgoing message appears under (male voice) "You are welcome. Safe travels. See you soon."
The screen changes back to the document and the man continues typing. (lasts 2 secs)

The background is a night sky, a spread out world map takes almost the whole screen.
A plane flies (sound fx) from Eastern Europe and lands in the UK, while the background turns to blue skies (takes about 3 secs).
A big analog clock appears on the screen (tic toc sound fx) showing 9am and ticks fast until 10pm, while the background turns back to night sky, and a young lady carrying some luggage walks across the map and sits on an airport style multiseat chair then falls asleep (all this in about 6 secs), and then fades out back to the map.
The plane flies again (sound fx) now from the UK to NY, while the background turns back to blue skies. (around 3 secs)
Big clock comes back (sound fx), ticking fast from 6am to 10am (around 2 secs).
