The dot and cross diagram that I have drawn is a “fully expanded” form of the given chemical structure.
Each line represents two bonding electrons. So altogether there are 5 x 2 = 10 electrons used in bonding, leaving behind 4 unbonded electrons from the oxygen atom.
You will learn in Sec 4 that CH3OH is the chemical structure of an alcohol.

The electrons in the overlapped circles are the 'shared electrons'. Recall that electrons are being shared in covalent bonding between atoms of non-metals.
