帮忙回一封英文信，非常感谢！

Question

今年中国南方特别的冷，不知道你们国家气候怎么样？有一个小小的好消息，我写了一篇小文章在当地报纸发表了，虽然这不算什么大事件，但是我也体会到了一丝成就感。我现在正在参加汉语言文学的考试，我很喜欢我们国家的语言文化。遗憾的是我的英语水平没有一点进步，没有机会也没有条件学习，给你的信件也是请人家帮忙的。所以即使我告诉你电话，也没办法愉快的交流，只会浪费了你的国际长途话费。
你这两年还去过其他国家吗？工作还很顺利吗？你的宝贝也长大了不少吧？那个夏天虽然很短暂，却令我终生难忘！

This winter in southern China is exceptionally cold,and how's it in your country? I have a piece of good news to share with you that an article i wrote have been published in a local newspaper,which gives me a little sense of achievement,though it's not a big deal at all.I'm now taking the examination of the culture of Chinese,i like the culture of our country very much.However,i feel ashamed that there's nearly no progress in my English.I have no chance and no condition to study it,and the letters to you are translated by others.Thus,though i give you my Tel.No.,we still can't well communicate with each other only wasting the expense of the international call.
Have you been to other countries yet? How's your work? Your baby must have grown a lot,right?That summer is really short,but unforgettable in my mind for ever.
