~ば~ほど

The grammar pattern [verb ば ... ほど] can be used to express the Japanese equivalent of the English "the more... the more..." I.e., "the more things change, the more they stay the same."

運動すれば(運動)するほど、健康になれるし、やせられるから、運動は一石二鳥ですね。
The more you exercise, the healthier you can become, and since you can lose weight, exercise kills two birds with one stone.

リーさんは食べれば食べるほど、やせるんだよね。
The more Lee-san eats, the thinner he becomes.

親が立派であればあるほど、子供はプレッシャを感じてしまうようだ。
It seems like the more prominent the parents are, the more their kids feel pressure.

アヤトに見れば見るほど、かっこういいなぁ。
The more I look at Ayato, the more handsome he becomes.
