Negative Role Model
Many people have a positive role model, but Sarah does not like the person who is supposed to be her role model. In fact, she hates how this person behaves. Her cousin Mark is older than her, but he is a very selfish person. He never thinks about others and only cares about what he wants. Mark is a liar too, because he sometimes uses lies to achieve his goals. Sarah also dislikes how rude he can be. He often speaks in a loud, unfriendly voice and makes unkind jokes about people.
Another reason Sarah does not like Mark is because he is so controlling. He always wants to decide what everyone should do, even when nobody asks him. He is also arrogant, acting as if he knows everything and is always right. Sarah hates this attitude.
Mark is also quite lazy. He never helps with chores at home and always tries to avoid work. He pretends to be very busy. When someone in the family gets something nice, Mark becomes jealous and complains. He can even be greedy, taking more food or snacks than anyone else. On top of that, he is impolite, often forgetting to say please or thank you.
Because of all this behaviour, Sarah really does not like Mark. She thinks he is a negative role model and hopes one day he will change.
