Please note that shall and will in English are conjugated correctly as follows:
1st person singular and plural: I shall and we shall = future. Eu trabalharei
but
2nd person singular and plural you will = future
3rd person singular and plural he, she, it will/they will = future
but
I will Eu (estou certo que) vou trabalhar
you shall
he,she, it shall
we will
you will
they shall
= a command
This is the correct way. However in normal usage you will hear the contractions I'll and we'll hence you will not often hear it (apart from in questions). Also sometimes people will not adhere to this correct usage. If you are aiming to pass an exam you are best off following the correct form.
