1. TO MARCH = I will march in a parade the next month. (to march = marchar , caminar)2. MARCH = Scientists say that walking/hiking is good for your health. (march = caminata) <--I looked up caminata = long walk/hike. Maybe you mean to use march as in marching, which is a type of walk. I haven't heard scientists say it's good for someone's health. When I've heard people using the word marching, it's more like "marching up and down the stairs" or being part of a "marching band" (which means you play instruments as you march across a field, or street, or wherever)
3. CASTILIAN = My Russian friend loves the Castilian language. (Castilian = castellano)
4. WAFFLE = For months, the mayor has waffled on the issue of improving public transportation.
(waffle = andarse por las ramas) I haven't seen "waffle" used like this. When you say waffle, I think of food (waffles are usually a breakfast food here). I looked up andarse por las ramas in spanishdict.com and it translated it as the idiom = to beat around the bush. Which basically means avoiding talking about something difficult. So your sentence would make more sense if you say "For months the mayor beat around the bush on the topic of improving public transportation".
5. ORIGIN = The origin of the infection is still unknown. (origin = origen)
6. TO DART OUT = You must decide to dart out at adventure of life. (to dart out = lanzarse) <--Again, I looked up lanzarse in spanishdict.com and based on what I think your message is trying to say, you should use "leap into". For example, "You should leap into the adventure of life". "Dart out" means more like moving really fast out of somewhere towards something/someone. For example: "The burglar darted out of the dark corner and attacked me" or "My dog darted out of his bed towards the kitchen when she heard me opening her treat bag".
7. ON ALL FOURS = Few days ago, my baby began crawling on all fours. (on all fours = a cuatro patas)
8. PERCEIVE = The tax system was widely perceived as unfair to ordinary workers.
The human eye is capable of perceiving thousands of insignificant details.
(perceive = percibir)
9. TO GO STRAIGHT = Tony's been trying to go straight for about six months.
(to go straight = reformarse)
10. COMPLEXITY = Many people struggle with the complexity of the tax forms.
(complexity = complejidad)
11. BALANCE = Riding a bike helps develop a child's sense of balance. (balance = equilibrio)
12. CLOUD = I love to see the clouds. (cloud = nube)
13. TO STAND = My grandfather can't stand anymore. (to stand = estar / ponerse de pie)
14. WICKEDLY = He likes behaving wickedly when nobody's watching him. (wickedly = malvadamente)
15. HARDLY = I was so tired that I could hardly walk. (hardly = apenas)
16. HILL= Near to my house, there is a hill. (hill = colina, cerro)
17. RHYTHM = I don't have rhythm to dance. (rhythm = ritmo) <--I would probably say something like "I can't dance...I don't have any rhythm".
18. RESUME / VICE = I don't want to resume my old vices.
(resume = reanudar, comenzar de nuevo, vice = vicio)
