Could you tell me how to properly say these sentences?



  • The books get longer and longer.



  • The more the sunburn hurts the longer it’ll take it to go away.



  • The more uncomfortable I feel, the more I laugh to hide the fact that I’m uncomfortable.
Can I ask you one last question please?

Can you use REFLECT like this?

- Someone's height doesn't reflect the size of their feet. (is this ok and what does this mean?)

Thank you

I don't like the first sentence, you don't need the repetition and how do books get longer? They get bigger or reading them could take longer. The others are fine I would put a comma after hurts.
