× I do like singing because it allows me to express my emotion and this has been shown by studies to be contributive to people's mental health.
✓ I do like singing because it allows me to express my emotions and this has been shown by studies to be contributive to people's mental health.
The word 'emotion' should be plural 'emotions' because it refers to multiple feelings in general, not a single emotion. Using the plural form is appropriate when talking about expressing feelings broadly.
× She is the closest of mine and I do want to show appreciation.
✓ She is the closest to me and I do want to show appreciation.
The phrase 'closest of mine' is incorrect. The correct prepositional phrase is 'closest to me' to indicate the person who is nearest or dearest. 'Of mine' is not used with 'closest' in this context.
