We can express what we wnat using two expressions: want to would like to examples: I want to be a fire fighter when I grow up. I would like to be a pop singe when I’m older.

 We sometimes use wish + infinitive as a formal alternative to want to or would like to with refernce to present and future wish situations.  Examples:  I wish to make a complaint and I would like to see the manager.  I do not wish to renew my subscription; I want to cancelit right now.  I wish to remove my name from your database. I want a solution now.  I don’t ever wish to see you again! The only difference between the two is that would like to is more polite or tentative than want to.

 We wish you a merry Christmas  We wish you a speedy recovery.  I wish you all the best on your birthday. We can also use wish to express good wishes
