A: × It was unexpectedly colder than ever.
✓ Unexpectedly, it was colder than ever.

× Nevertheless, I loathe winter, so I felt depressed, thinking about the news that this winter will be the coldest that It has ever been recently.
✓ I loathe winter, so I felt depressed, thinking about the news that this winter will be the coldest that It has ever been recently.

× Taking a walk nearby, cold winds touched my face and I couldn’t help sighing and thought I have to endure about four months from now on.
✓ Taking a walk nearby, cold winds touched my face and I couldn’t help sighing and thinking about how I have to endure about four more months.

"Nevertheless" says that you are about to say something opposite to what you just said. In this case, it doesn't make sense (unless you mean that being colder than ever is actually a good thing).

Saying "I couldn't help sighing and thought ..." actually implies you are combining the sentences "I couldn't help sighing" and "I couldn't help thought". However, "I couldn't help thought" is not correct grammar, so that seems weird. You can say either "I couldn't help sighing and thinking", or you could say "I couldn't help sighing, and I thought"

"From now on" suggests "for the indefinite future", or "without any (known) end". Because of this, combining "about four months" (which has an end) with "from now on" (no end) seems strange.

A: The text is actually incorrect

The correct expression is "I am LOATH to..."

which means "I am unwilling to .."


Many people confuse this with the word "to loathe", which means "to hate intensely"

A: ‎I used to loathe learning math in middle school because I had to re-read the first chapter many times. I was still confused, mainly because I kept getting distracted when the teacher taught the most difficult part. However, I came to the realization that once I take the first step, every obstacle is easier than initially expected. Besides, having strong mathematical skills important to succeed in the field I'm studying for now.

A: This looks very good, except for one little spot. You should use "related" rather than "relate", because it's being used as an adjective. Other than that, it looks great! :)
