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.
