Here in the sentence, is it possible that we can consider 'would like to' to be more polite one than 'like to' or does it still have the meaning of 'like'? Or should it mean 'want' all the time or more polite one than 'want'? I really hope to make my question clear. Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.
