Ria, each bond line in the diagram represents TWO electrons to be shared, one coming from each atom. There are a total of 5 x 2 = 10 electrons shared amongst the atoms.
In covalent bonding, electrons are shared amongst atom. In typical situations, equal number of electrons comes from each of the atoms.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs. Methanol has 5 pairs of shared electrons (covalent bonds), so in total there are 10 shared electrons.
