Always use 'I'll have...' or 'I'll take...'. It sounds much more natural than 'I want' or 'I buy'.
Say 'I'll get that' or 'I'll help'. It's the standard way to be helpful in English.
Add 'probably' after 'will' to sound less aggressive and more like a native speaker.
Use 'won't' to describe the problem. It's a very common idiomatic way to complain.
Prononciation
The Dark L
In contractions like 'I'll' or 'you'll', the 'll' is a 'dark L'. The tongue is near the back of the throat.
Won't vs Want
'Won't' has a long 'o' sound (like 'go'). 'Want' has a short 'o' or 'ah' sound.

Notes culturelles
In very formal British English, 'shall' is sometimes used instead of 'will' for 'I' and 'we', though this is becoming rare in modern speech.
Americans almost never use 'shall' except in legal documents or very dramatic emphasis. 'Will' is the universal standard.
Using 'will' for promises is vital in business culture to show commitment. 'I'll send the report' is seen as a binding verbal contract.
From the Old English 'willan', meaning 'to wish, desire, or want'.

FAQ (8)
Usually, no. If you have already booked your flight, use `be going to` or the `Present Continuous`. Use `will` only if you decide to go right this second!
Yes, `won't` is the contraction of `will not`. It is much more common in speaking. `Will not` sounds very formal or angry.
Use `shall` mainly for suggestions with 'I' or 'We', like `Shall we go?`. For the future, `will` is almost always better.
This is a special use of `will` to make a guess about something happening *now*. You are predicting who is at the door.
Both are fine, but `I will` sounds slightly more professional and firm. `I'll` is perfectly acceptable and sounds more natural.
Yes! `It will rain tomorrow` is a perfect sentence if you are making a guess.
`I'll help you` is a spontaneous offer. `I'm going to help you` sounds like you planned to help before you saw the person.
No! That's the best part. It is `I will`, `you will`, `he will`, `she will`, `we will`, and `they will`. No '-s' needed!
