Hello,
One of the expressions we studied the other day was 'get a new lease of life' which has the following definition: 'If
someone gets a new lease of life, they feel healthy and positive after a period of illness.'
After watching the video 'For the First Time' by the Script, a student tried to describe his understanding of the plot,
and used the expression this way:
'The story is about a young Irish couple who moved across the pond, probably searching for a new lease of life, but, unfortunately, everything turned out bad.'
Does the searching for a new lease of life part sound OK in this context? For me it does, but I am not a native speaker.
Thank you in advance.
