WOULD LIKE TO
would like to（＋動詞の原型）の使い方
Day4では「何かが欲しい」、「何かをしたい」の意味のwould like toを学びます。
同じ意味で、Day 6に出てくるwant toがありますが、少し幼い感じがしますのでwould like to（+動詞の原型）を使いましょう。
例1： I want to have a coffee. （コーヒーを飲みたいな。）
ニュアンスとしては少しカジュアルです。
例2： I’d like to have a coffee.（コーヒーをいただきたいのですが。）
職場やレストランなどで少し固く話したい時には、would like toを使います。上記の文は、レストランで食後のコーヒーを飲みたい時に使います。
