How do you use the “越来越” in Mandarin Chinese?

Helen Zhang (Chinese Teacher) says
We usually use it in the sentence structure “越来…越+adj. (yuè lái yuè…)” which is similar to the structure “comparative adjectives+and+ comparative adjectives” in English.

For example:
Shēng huó huì yuè lái yuè hǎo.
生活会越来越好。 
Life will become better and better.
Tiānqì yuè lái yuè rè.
天气越来越热。
The weather will become hotter and hotter.
Can you make a sentence in Mandarin using this structure now?
