　　Take the Grand Canyon for instance.Now, we geologists thought we had a pretty good idea of how the Grand Canyon in the southwestern United States was formed.
　　2. Well一般用在回答一个问题之前，所以听到这个词后面往往就是解释，比如：
　　Um… and it was basically because of Uranium-Lead Dating. Why?Well, as everyone in this class should know, we usually look at the grain type within sandstone, meaning the actual particles in the sandstone, to determine where it came from. “But” and "So" are usually followed by a key point.
