Correct or not no. 90 - 4 sentences

Dear Users,
May I ask you to have a look at the following sentences and help me to improve them?

1) I'm very interested in the language itself and the history of China, especially that of 20th century.

Not sure if it's necessary to use the definite article before 20th century and if this sentence sounds OK.


2) I'm currently having classes in a private training center here in Shanghai but I feel that learning Chinese in Beijing would be a wonderful opportunity.

Here, I'm not sure about having and the way I introduced the sentence after but. Perhaps I should have used and? Not sure why though. Just a feeling.

3) I'd like to ask a few questions regarding the scholarships offered in Beijing.

Not sure if it's necessary to use the definite article there.

4) Is there any age-limit for candidates?

I suppose the hyphen is unnecessary... Perhaps I should have written an age limit?

Thank you.

Thank you Mister Micawber. Grateful as I am for the answers, I need to ask for some kind of explanation. It's the only way to develop... Could you (or someone else) tell me why your correctio
