"$this->request->getVar" in a model with CI4

I have tried to use
"$this->request->getVar" in a model.
I didn't succeed.
It only worked when I moved the construct into a controller.
Why? What's my mistake?

If you need to use Request in a model method, pass a Request instance as a parameter to the method.
Or you can pass to the model constructor.
Or you can contact through the service.
There are many ways.

PHP Code:

$model = new SomeModel();
$model->someMethod($this->request);
//
$model = new SomeModel($this->request);
//
$request = App\Config\Service::request(); 


Then I tried "$this->db->update($id, $data);" to use in a model.
Error message:
Call to undefined method CodeIgniter \ Database \ MySQLi \ Connection :: update ()
Why?
How do I introduce the method to the model?

The $db property contains the connection.
To use QueryBuilder call $this->builder()

PHP Code:

$builder = $this->builder();
$builder->update(....); 
// or
$this->builder()->update(....);
