"I wish" is for anything I might want, sometimes whimsically, traditionally in the subjunctive. "I wish I were a child again." "I wish I could go to France." It can be used in many other ways, such as to express frustration with someone without actually demanding something: "I wish you would put your shoes away" (rather than "Please put your shoes away"). It can be used in "making a wish," like in a magical context: "I wish to go to France." (Poof--I'm in France! This isn't used in an everyday context. If I know I'm not going to suddenly be in France, I would say, "I wish I could go to France.") "I'd sooner" and "I'd rather" are very similar to each other and often interchangeable--however, in the United States, "I'd sooner" is not used very often. Both are making a choice between two options, one that I would like to do more than the other. "I'd rather" is the more common phrase for choosing between two regular options: "I'd rather make cupcakes than cookies." "I'd rather go to the park than to school." "I'd sooner" could be used instead of "I'd rather," but in the U.S., would more typically be used to express that you definitely do NOT want to do something. For instance: "I don't want to live in Florida. I'd sooner live in the middle of the ocean!" (Clearly, I would not actually live in the ocean; this wild hypothetical simply expresses that I do NOT want to live in Florida.)

[Short Conversation] New Year's Resolution.

To keep up with my English studying, every day I write everyday some a short conversation about whatever comes in my to mind, just to practice. some real and sometimes not real situation that happend in my life. Sometimes it's a real situation that happened in my life, and sometimes it's not. Feel free to correct my mistakes and maybe show me how to say the same phrase but in a natural way.

A: What's your New Year's resolution? Did you make any one?
B: I don't like to make a list because I always mess up before February start.
A: You need to learn how to be more focused on your goals.
B: I know, I know, but I have so many things to worry about that it's hard to keep everything in under control.
A: Why don't you make a list of everything you want to change, and out of that list, choose just three or two two or three (while "three or two" is grammatically correct, "two or three" is more natural) to focus on?
B: Good idea, thanks.
