Correction: With much German influence.
Grammar Rule: Adverbs of quantity

Explanation of the grammar rule:
 extracted from: http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/vocabulary/much-many
The words much and many mean a lot of.
  • If a noun is in singular, we use much
    Example:
    much money
  • If a noun is in plural, we use many
    Example:
    many friends

Use of much / many

In everyday English, we normally use much / many only in questions and negative clauses.
Example:
How much money have you got?
Carla does not have many friends.
In positive clauses with so, as or too, we also use much / many.
Example:
Carla has so many friends.
She has as many friends as Sue.
Kevin has too much money.
In all other positive clauses, however, we prefer expressions like a lot of / lots of.
Example:
Carla has a lot of / lots of friends.
Kevin has a lot of / lots of money.
In formal texts, however, much / many are also common in positive clauses. This you will notice for example when you read English news.
Examples:
I like that dress very much.
Thank you very much.
I have many things to do.

Trip to Puerto Varas
  Last year, with all of the 8th graders, we had the South Trip. We went to many places, like Rapel, Lota, Puerto Montt among others, but the place that I most liked, was Puerto Varas. Puerto Varas is named as the most beautiful city of Chile. When I was there, I saw a small city on the shore of Lago Llanquihue, Volcan Osorno, a touristic and beautiful city with much german inluence, long craftshops, very good restaurants like "Cassi´s" and very friendlypeople. I met an artesan there that taught me how to make wood figures. To finish, I can say that I will visit this place again. Of course that I will do it!

Cheat in Crossfit Games 2013
Last saturday, I went to the Crossfit Games 2013 in California and I saw that a player didn´t do a correctly exeuted push-up, and the judge, counted that wrong exercise, as a good one. I think that this is unfair for other players, because they put all of them to make a good push-up, so this is unacceptable. If I had been the judge who counted that wrong exercise, I wouldn´t have awarded it, or simply, disqualified him. So I think that for the next time, the directors of Crossfit Games, will have to worry more in the sense of choosing judges, because this is an important tournament and it has to be a serious ocasion.
