  Dear Fatih! I will gladly answer to your question but there are much more than two ways of describing future actions. I wonder if I can answer to your question completely right away. Anyway, I will explain you the difference between "will" and "going to".

  Will is a modal verb. It expresses our desire or our good will or our promis to do this or that. So, when you say:

  I will mail you a letter.

  It sounds as your desire or promis (nothing more). Most probably, you will write.

  On the other hand, "going to" is a very doubtful action. It  mostly sounds as "no". Going on with the first example, if you say:

  I am going  to mail you a letter

  sounds as a polite refuse. It is rather 'no" than "yes". Probability of this action is very low.

  However, if you are sure in some of your future actions, you should use Present Progressive (about 99% probability)

  I am mailing you a letter

  means that you have already written that letter and are  about to drop it into the mail box

  Dear Dambru! If you don't understand, just ask questions like other people do

  Dear Pham! I've got your question. Those two sentences have absolutely different meanings.

  Do you like coffee? is a question about your likes and dislikes. It is a general questin in Present Simple.  Answering to it you can say: 

  "I do like it very much" or

  "I don't. I prefer tea"

  The other example:

  Would you like some coffee?  means if you want to have a cup of coffee at the moment. You can reply:

  "Yes, please" or

  "No, thanks"

  Is it clear?
