Hello mourisca,
Well, I think that the answers would be like the following:
1- a ( which means inside that mall or centre)
2- b ( to fill in something with something) "to fill in the gaps with the suitable vowels or answers."
3- b ( Dancing classes or a dancing teacher)..
Let �s wait and see others � responses.
Have a nice day:0)

I would say "I am a dance teacher"
For me, a dancing teacher is a teacher who dances, s/he might teach math ... |

1. a) I work in a shopping centre. (a shopping mall is an enclosed area)
2. a) Fill in the missing vowels. (this is understood - no need for with)
3. a) I�m a dance teacher. (a teacher who dances is a dancing teacher - a dance teacher is someone who teaches dance)

Hi, Mourisca! 1. a) I work in a shopping centre. b) I work at a shopping centre. (I think this is correct, since the context implies the place where you work, there are many shops in a shopping center, if it were mentioned it could be, I work in the shoe store at the shopping centre.) 2. a) Fill in the missing vowels. (this sounds more natural to me, no need to add "with") b) Fill in with the missing vowels. 3. a) I�m a dance teacher. (definitely this is the correct answer.) b) I�m a dancing teacher. |

For me...
1. b) at - for the same reason that Mar states.
Mind you, as a native speaker, I can say that you often hear both of these alternatives in speech. The most correct, however, is �at �.
2. a) - no need for �with �. In this instance, because you are going to �fill in � it is already given that you will use something to do it with (in this case the missing vowel... so using �with � could be considered an example of tautology!
3. �dance � - I have no problems seeing a teacher who dances (therefore a �dancing teacher �...  that includes you, Mar!) but this is quite different to someone who is teaching others to dance (i.e. a dance teacher/instructor).
Cheers,
AB

AB! Problem is, I think I have TWO LEFT feet, so no dancing for me! I �d rather "instruct" if you get my drift!
