(Answer)
✔Is there any evidences that ghosts exist?

Evidence is uncountable nonu. Note also (evidence是不可數名詞。注意也用): 'a piece/pieces of evidence' (一項/幾項証據)

✔My mother never listens to what I say.

listen never takes a direct object, and one listens to someone/something.
注意：listen後面不能直接帶一賓語，只能說listen to someone或something.

✔He doesn't hear very well.

To hear is to take a sound with the ears, whether one wants to or not.
hear一詞指用耳朵聽，至於聽都樂意與否，耳朵都要聽到。
To listen is to hear with attention. One can listen carefully, but he may hear nothing.
listen一詞指用心去聽，聽者可以用心去聽，但不一定能聽到。
