Hello Francesca,
私の話を終えたとき、Correct!
友達はわらいはじめまして、is formal expression, so 友達はわらいはじめて is better in this case.
「きみはほんとうのんきい!」と言いました is understandable, but I feel this expression is slow tempo. It is OK if you show it.
Most Japanese will say きみはほんとのんき!
Note that there is not the word のんきい; のんき is correct. のんき also means のんきな人. So, you do not need to put い for making adjective form.
It is OK if you use い for just sound.
Thank you.

YouDS-san gave you a good answer.
I just want to add some explanation.
Mostly we use a dictionary form verb for て-form.
We can add politeness using a ます-form verb in a predicate like this:
図書館に行って、べんきょうしました。
(としょかんにいって、べんきょうしました。)
I went to a library and studied.
合格の知らせを聞いて、彼女は泣いて喜びました。
(ごうかくのしらせをきいて、かのじょは ないてよろこびました。)
Hearing that she passed the exam, she cried in happiness.
Another tip. The title of your question should be この'文章'は正しいですか.
