Pls suggest a lens
Depends on what you want to shoot. For Wildlife a longer zoom, low light a faster prime. I have both and a lot depends on your subject and your budget. Prices can range from about $100 (50mm f/1.
to tens of thousands.Until this year I was using an XT (300D from about 2004) and an XSi (450D). I have the kit lens, the 50mm and a 70-300IS that I bought with my EOS Rebel film unit.
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

As for your question, like everyone else said, it definitely depends what you want to shoot. It will also depend somewhat on your budget. If you're looking for an upgrade in image quality, there are a lot of suggestions we could make but they're going to be more expensive.
If you're looking for a longer lens so you can shoot farther away, there are lenses ranging from very affordable to very expensive. Within that group, there are certain ones you'd want to look at if you're shooting sports and action (faster lenses, which are on the expensive end of the spectrum) and then others that are good if you just need the extra zoom range without the speed (on the more affordable end).
If you want to shoot portraits, you'd probably want to look at a prime lens. A 50mm is a great length for portraits on a 550D, but again there are several and all have different price points.
If you want to shoot macro, then that's a whole other group of lenses. I think that kind of gives you an idea of just how diverse the variety of lenses is, and what type of information we would need in order to give you the best possible suggestions.
