Regarding future tense structures, 'will' implies a wish, a willingness to do something.


IN THE FIRST PERSON, "shall" implies normal future tense; "will" implies determination.
In the SECOND person, "will" implies normal future tense; "shall" implies determination.
In the THIRD person, "will" implies normal future tense; "shall" implies determination.

These rules are dying out over time. They are less common in America. But they are correct.
